Jones Sound

Jones Sound

Jones Sound (coord|76|0|N|86|0|W) lies between Devon Island and, to the north, the southern end of Ellesmere Island, in Nunavut, Canada. At its northwestern end it is linked by several channels to Norwegian Bay; at its eastern end it opens via Glacier Strait into Baffin Bay.

The first known European to sight the sound was the English explorer William Baffin in 1616 who named it after one of his patrons.
