Franklin Strait
The Franklin Strait is an Arctic waterway in Northern Canada's territory of Nunavut. It is located between southeastern Prince of Wales Island and the Boothia Peninsula.[1] It is on the south end of Peel Sound.[2]
It is named after the English explorer Sir John Franklin (1786-1847), who perished in these waters on his lost expedition.
