Exploration
[edit | edit source]During the British Arctic Expedition of 1875 under George Nares, ancient cairns were found on Washington Irving Island (Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.), located in the mouth of the bay.[3]
The area was also explored by Adolphus Greely during his Lady Franklin Bay Expedition of 1881–1884.[4]
