Charles Island
Charles Island lies in the western part of Hudson Strait, among a chain of Arctic islands near the southern coast of Baffin Island. To its west, Nottingham and Salisbury islands stand near the entrance to Hudson Bay. In 1610 the English navigator Henry Hudson passed through the strait on his search for a route west. Taking Charles Island for part of the mainland, he named a feature there Mount Charles; the island bears the name he gave it.
