Robeson Channel

Robeson Channel (coord|82|0|N|61|30|W) is a body of water lying between Greenland and Canada's most northerly island, Ellesmere Island. It is the most northerly part of Nares Strait, linking Kennedy Channel to the south with the Arctic Ocean to the north.

It is about 50 miles (80 km) in length and between 11 to 18 miles (18 to 29 km) wide. Alert, the world's most northerly permanently-inhabited settlement, lies nearby.
