Davis Strait
Davis Strait ((フランス語:Détroit de Davis)) is a northern arm of the Labrador Sea. It lies between mid-western Greenland and Nunavut, Canada's Baffin Island. To the north is Baffin Bay. The strait was named for the English explorer John Davis (1550–1605), who explored the area while seeking a Northwest Passage. By the 1650s it was used for whale hunting.

''On the East.'' The Southwest coast of Greenland.
''On the South.'' The parallel of 60° North between Greenland and Labrador.
''On the West.'' The Eastern limit of the Northwestern Passages South of 70° North (East coast of Baffin Island to East Bluff, its Southeastern extremity ) and of Hudson Strait (line from East Bluff, the Southeast extreme of Baffin Island (), to Point Meridian, the Western extreme of Lower Savage Islands, along the coast to its Southwestern extreme and thence a line across to the Western extreme of Resolution Island, through its Southwestern shore to Hatton Headland, its Southern point, thence a line to Cape Chidley, Labrador () ).
