About Beechey Island
Beechey Island is a small, bare island off the western end of Devon Island in Nunavut, joined to it by a narrow spit, on Lancaster Sound at the eastern gateway to the Northwest Passage. It rises to a low hill fringed by a narrow beach.
Sir John Franklin's expedition spent a winter here before it vanished, and three of its men are buried on the shore, beside the grave of a fourth man from a later expedition. The island then became a meeting point for the Franklin search expeditions, which mapped much of the Canadian Arctic.
Nearby lie the remains of Northumberland House, a supply depot built in case Franklin's crews returned. The Beechey Island Sites are a National Historic Site of Canada.
