Dealy Island

Resolute, Nunavut

Composed largely of loose rock and tundra, Dealy Island has long been a landmark for arctic explorers. Located off the south coast of Melville Island, a large storehouse and cairn were built there in 1853. A whaleboat, two sledges and three graves were also left on the island at that time.
