The Hovgaard Islands are a Canadian Arctic island group in the Kitikmeot Region of Nunavut Territory. They were named after Andreas Hovgaard, a Polar explorer and officer of the Danish Navy who led an expedition to the Kara Sea on steamship Dijmphna in 1882–83.[1]
The islands lie in the Rasmussen Basin, equal distance between Gjoa Haven, King William Island (Script error: No such module "convert". to the north), and Pechell Point, Adelaide Peninsula (Script error: No such module "convert".).[2]
The waters surrounding the islands are known amongst the Netsilik Inuit for an abundance of blubbery marine mammals.
