Amundsen Gulf (sh)




Southeastern extension of the Beaufort Sea of the Arctic Ocean.

Extending about 250 mi (400 km), the gulf is bordered by Victoria Island on the east and separates Banks Island (north) from the Canadian mainland (south). In 1850 the gulf was entered from the west by the British explorer Robert McClure. It is named for Roald Amundsen.
