The Victoria Strait is a waterway located in the Canadian Arctic, separating the islands of Victoria Island and King William Island. It is part of the larger Canadian Arctic Archipelago and plays a significant role in maritime navigation in the region. This strait is known for its challenging ice conditions, especially during the winter months. It has historical significance as part of the route explored by Sir John Franklin during his ill-fated expedition in the 19th century, which aimed to find the Northwest Passage.
