Navigate the heart of the Qikiqtaaluk Region with the professional authority of the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS). Chart 7935 is the definitive navigational guide for Crozier Strait and Pullen Strait, two vital waterways that connect the Queens Channel to the north with McDougall Sound to the south.
The straits surrounding Little Cornwallis Island are characterized by intricate coastlines and historical significance in Arctic exploration. As maritime traffic increases due to receding ice, CHS Chart 7935 provides the "ground-truth" data required for:
Intricate Strait Navigation: Features large-scale detail for the passages separating Bathurst Island's Gregory Peninsula from Milne and Little Cornwallis Islands.
High-Resolution Bathymetry: Provides accurate depth soundings and seafloor characteristics—essential for vessels navigating the narrow Pullen Strait between Cornwallis and Little Cornwallis Islands.
Hazard & Archaeological Awareness: Clearly marks submerged dangers and coastal configurations near sensitive sites like Karluk Island, ensuring safety for both the vessel and the environment.
Strategic Transit Planning: Essential for ice-class commercial vessels, research icebreakers, and expedition cruises transiting the central Arctic Archipelago.
With the expansion of the blue economy and the vital role of Arctic sovereignty, the role of Chart 7935 is more vital than ever. Whether you are a captain of a scientific research vessel, a pilot for a northern supply mission, or an expedition navigator, this official CHS "road map" provides the precision required to show the configuration of the coast, dangers, and aids to navigation.
