The uninhabited Cheyne Islands are members of the Queen Elizabeth Islands and the Arctic Archipelago in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut, Canada. The group is made up of three islands known as North Island, Middle Island, and South Island. Located approximately 5km (03miles) off eastern Bathurst Island, they are situated near Reindeer Bay within western Penny Strait.[1]
These small alluvial islands, approximately 7km (04miles) in size, with an elevation up to 3m (10feet) above sea level, are characterized by barrens and rocky flats.
Moss can be found growing on the Middle and South islands.
They are a Canadian Important Bird Area (#NU049) and a Key Migratory Bird Terrestrial Habitat site (NU site 5). Notable bird species include Ross's gull and northern common eider.[2]
