Astronomical Society Islands

The Astronomical Society Islands[1] are members of the Arctic Archipelago in the Canadian territory of Nunavut.

They are located in western Gulf of Boothia at the mouth of Lord Mayor Bay.

The waters surrounding the archipelago have been used for hunting polar bears and walrus.
