The Strathcona Islands[1] are uninhabited Canadian arctic islands located in Hudson Strait, Nunavut, Canada. They are a Baffin Island offshore island group in Qikiqtaaluk Region lying from 2miles to 9miles west of Cape Colmer. The group consists of a large island that rises in a series of rocky ridges to 183m (600feet); its south side is low and irregular. There are also several small, rocky islands.[2]
