King George Sound

King George Sound lies between the islands of the King George Archipelago and the southern shore of Hudson Strait. Beyond the islands, the strait runs east towards the Labrador Sea and west towards Hudson Bay. Its waters are home to seals, walrus and whales, while sea ice shapes travel through much of the year. In the eighteenth century, Inuit of the strait met passing Hudson's Bay Company ships and exchanged goods with their crews.
