Milne Inlet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Milne Inlet (72°15′N 080°30′W / 72.250°N 80.500°W / 72.250; -80.500 (Mine Inlet)Coordinates: 72°15′N 080°30′W / 72.250°N 80.500°W / 72.250; -80.500 (Mine Inlet)) is a body of water in Nunavut's Qikiqtaaluk Region.[1] It flows in a southerly direction from Navy Board Inlet at the confluence of Eclipse Sound. Ragged Island is located at the inlet's opening, while Stephens Island is located further within. Baffinland had proposed in 2008 to build a harbour here, but Steensby Inlet was favoured in 2011 because of its more southerly location.
