Barrow Strait

Barrow Strait is a shipping waterway in Northern Canada's territory of Nunavut.

Its western mouth, at Cape Cockburn, southwestern Bathurst Island, is 66 mi (106 km) wide.

[1][2] Habitat for Arctic fox, birds, polar bear, ringed seal, and whales is located along the ice edge, near Leopold Island, while consolidated ice in the strait's central and western sections provides a bridge for caribou crossing.

[1] A strategic waterway from deepwater vessels navigating Arctic waters, the Strait was surveyed in detail by the Soviet Navy during the Cold War.
