Resolute Bay

Hamlet in Baffin Region, in the Canadian territory of Nunavut; population (1996 est) 200. It is situated on the south of Cornwallis Island, in the Queen Elizabeth Islands, to the north of the Parry Channel, in an area long used by Inuit hunting parties. In 1947 the Canadian government moved Inuit to the area from Baffin Island and north Québec, and established what is now an air transhipment centre and tourist base.

The Resolute, a ship involved in the search for the lost expedition led by English naval explorer John Franklin, wintered in Resolute Bay in 1850.
