Steensby Inlet

Steensby Inlet is a waterway in Nunavut's Qikiqtaaluk Region. It extends northerly from Foxe Basin into central Baffin Island. There are several unnamed islands within the inlet, and Koch Island lies outside of it. The Steensby Inlet Ice Stream arose after the deglaciation of Foxe Basin.[1]

It is named in honor of Hans Peder Steensby, ethnographer and professor of geography at the University of Copenhagen.
