Ferguson Lake (Kivalliq Region)
Ferguson Lake is a lake in Kivalliq Region, Nunavut, Canada. It is located north of the tree line, midway between Yathkyed Lake and Qamanirjuaq Lake. The lake's outflow is to the east into the Ferguson River, which flows eastward through several lakes, emptying into northwestern Hudson Bay between Rankin Inlet and Whale Cove. The closest community is Baker Lake, to the north.〔(Location of Ferguson Lake in relation to the communities of Baker Lake, Rankin Inlet, Whale Cover, and Arviat )〕
The lake was discovered by Canadian Arctic explorer Joseph Tyrrell's Geological Survey of Canada 1894 canoe expedition that included Robert Monro Ferguson, Scottish sportsman and ''aide-de-camp'' to Lord Aberdeen, Governor General of Canada. Ferguson became the namesake of the lake and the river.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Joseph Burr Tyrrell )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Arctic Profiles )〕(Hodgins, 1994, pg. 109)
==Geography==
The lake has an irregular contour with deep bays, long points, grassy slopes, terraces underlain with sand and gravel, and rocky narrows. There are several rocky, gray gneiss, dark-green diorite islands, one large enough to accommodate a +1 km airstrip. A prominent area feature directly east of the lake is Uligattalik Hill .
It is within the northern Hearne Domain, Western Churchill province of the Churchill craton, the northwest section of the Canadian Shield.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WORLD MINERALS GEOSCIENCE DATABASE PROJECT )〕
