Foxe Peninsula

It juts out from the southern end of the island in a southwestern direction, dividing Foxe Basin and Hudson Strait.

Its western extremity is Cape Queen; to the southeast lies the Inuit hamlet of Kinngait.

Although the exact route of his ship, Charles, remains uncertain, it is believed that he surveyed the coast of the Foxe Peninsula during September 1631 as far as the Cape Dorchester.

[3] However, the exact position of the named places cannot be ascertained accurately due to discrepancies between Foxeʼs MS journal and his written narrative published later.

[6] Mapping of the Foxe Peninsula was completed between 1956 and 1957 through geodetic survey utilising SHORAN (Short-Range Aid to Navigation) electronic length measurement.
