  Lancaster Sound
Lancaster Sound, an arm of BAFFIN BAY and a major passage through the ARCTIC ARCHIPELAGO, is 400 km long and some 100 km wide.
As a result of the interaction of currents, the sound is rich in nutrients and supports a biologically varied community of birds, mammals and fish.
European interest began in the 17th century, with the search for the NORTHWEST PASSAGE, and William BAFFIN was likely the first to record the existence of the sound (1616).
