The Davis Strait is a body of water located between the eastern coast of Greenland and the western coast of Baffin Island in Canada. It connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Arctic Ocean and is an important route for marine navigation and wildlife migration. The strait is named after the English explorer John Davis, who explored the area in the late 16th century. It is known for its rich marine life, including various species of fish and marine mammals, making it significant for both ecological studies and fishing industries.
