Creswell Bay is an Arctic waterway in Qikiqtaaluk Region, Nunavut, Canada. It is an arm of western Prince Regent Inlet in eastern Somerset Island. Its northeastern landmark, Fury Point, is approximately west of Baffin Island. While the bay does not have any permanent settlements, it remains an important Inuit habitation site.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Creswell Bay Drum Removal & Clean-Up Project )〕 ==Geography== Creswell Bay is large and almost semicircular. Its habitat is characterized by tundra, rivers, streams, mud, saline sand flats, a freshwater lake, open sea, inlets, coastal marine features, coastal cliffs, and rocky marine shores. The elevation is above sea level. Stanwell-Fletcher Lake is joined to the bay by the Union River; crystalline rocks are notable along the way. The Creswell River also empties into the bay.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Creswell Bay )〕 The Devonian Peel Sound Formation outcrops at the bay.
