Coronation Gulf
Coronation Gulf lies between Victoria Island and mainland Nunavut in Canada.
The gulf was named by Sir John Franklin in 1821, in honour of the coronation of King George IV.
The environment and Native culture of the area were studied by Rudolph Anderson and Diamond Jenness in 1916 as part of the Canadian Arctic Expedition.
In 2010, the Coronation Gulf was the site of maritime disaster, when the Clipper Adventurer ran aground on a rock shoal.
The accident punctured the ship's ballast and fuel tanks, releasing pollution into the pristine waters, and stranded 128 passengers and 69 crew members until the CCGS Amundsen came to rescue them.
