Eglinton Island

Eglinton Island is an uninhabited island of the Arctic Archipelago in the Northwest Territories, Canada. Eglinton is one of the Queen Elizabeth Islands. Located at 75°48'N 118°30'W, it measures in size, long and wide in measurements. It lies on the north side of the M'Clure Strait, just south of the much larger Prince Patrick Island and is uninhabited with some human activity in the 1970s in the form of natural gas drilling.
The first European sighting of Eglinton Island was in 1853 by George Mecham, and explored by him and Francis [Leopold McClintock] in the spring of that year.
