Forbes Sound

Forbes Sound lies near the northern tip of Labrador, south of Jackson Island and close to the entrance of Hudson Strait. Steep, rocky cliffs rise above its northern shore, while small islands and shallows lie along the southern side. At its southeastern end is Goddard Island; to the north, the waters around Jackson Island lead towards the exposed coast of Killiniq Island. Tidal currents run through these narrow waters, and winds can gather strength among the surrounding hills.
