Fury and Hecla Strait is a narrow channel of water located in Northern Canada between Baffin Island and Melville Peninsula. It was discovered in 1822 by Arctic explorer William Edward Parry and was named for his ships: Fury and Hecla. It is almost always covered in ice, making the navigation around difficult.
