Amundsen_Science_Arctic_Expedition

CCGS Amundsen in Bellot Strait. Bellot Strait is a strait in Nunavut that separates Somerset Island to its north from the Murchison Promontory of Boothia Peninsula to its south, which is the northernmost part of the mainland of the Americas. The two-kilometre-wide (1.2 mi) and 25-kilometre-long (16 mi) strait connects the Gulf of Boothia, Prince Regent Inlet, and Brentford Bay to its east with Peel Sound and Franklin Strait to its west. The Bellot Strait is a place at the edge of the earth, a delicate route, irrigated by strong sea currents and where very few ships pass.
