The uninhabited Marvin Islands are located in the Arctic Ocean across the mouth of Disraeli Fiord,[1] in northern Ellesmere Island within the Quttinirpaaq National Park. Ward Hunt Island lies to the northwest. The island group is a part of the Qikiqtaaluk Region, Nunavut, Canada.[2]
The islands are named after Ross Gilmore Marvin, a member of two Arctic expeditions led by Robert Peary.[3]
