Bellot Strait
A narrow channel separates the island's southern end from the Boothia Peninsula, and on the map it reads as a fine, sharp cut between two landmasses.

About this Somerset Island map poster
Somerset Island lies in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, in Nunavut. It is large, low and uninhabited, separated from the Boothia Peninsula on the mainland by the narrow Bellot Strait. Lancaster Sound runs along the north, Prince Regent Inlet to the east and Peel Sound to the west.
On a map the island is a broad, blocky mass with a coastline that alternates between long straight stretches and deep inlets. There are no towns or road networks, only the shape of the land and the water around it. A former trading post, Fort Ross, stood at the southern end near Bellot Strait.
A Somerset Island map poster is almost entirely about outline and surrounding waterways. The narrow channels that frame the island trace some of the routes explored in the search for the Northwest Passage, giving the image a quiet historical weight. It is a strong choice for anyone fascinated by polar geography or who has worked or travelled in the High Arctic.

Lancaster Sound

Unbroken interior

Why Somerset Island
A map that means something
Somerset Island appeals to people drawn to polar exploration, Arctic research or simply the idea of wide, empty land. Without street detail, it becomes a graphic, almost abstract print that works in minimal rooms.
You can personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates, and choose from Classic black and white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Blueprint in particular suits the chart-like quality of Arctic straits and sounds.
