Monumental Island (Inuktitut: ᐅᒥᐊᙳᐊᖅ, romanized: Umiannguaq) is a Baffin Island offshore island located in the Arctic Archipelago in the territory of Nunavut. The island lies in Davis Strait, almost halfway between Lady Franklin Island and Little Hall Island.
Monumental Island was named by Charles Francis Hall, an Arctic explorer, as a tribute to the memory of Sir John Franklin.[2]
