This article is about the Canadian Arctic island group. For the sub-Antarctic island, see
Hovgaard Island.
The Hovgaard Islands are a Canadian Arctic island group in the Nunavut Territory. The islands lie in the Rae Strait, equal distance between Gjoa Haven, King William Island (20 km (12 mi) to the north), and Pechell Point, Adelaide Peninsula (20 km (12 mi)).[1]
The waters surrounding the islands are known amongst the Netsilik Inuit for an abundance of blubbery marine mammals.
