Viscount Melville Sound is an arm of the Arctic Ocean in Kitikmeot, Nunavut, Canada. Forming part of the Parry Channel, it separates Victoria Island and Prince of Wales Island from the Queen Elizabeth Islands. East of the sound, via Barrow Strait, lies Lancaster Sound, leading into Baffin Bay; westward lies the McClure Strait and the Arctic Ocean/Beaufort Sea. The sound is a part of the Northwest Passage.[1]
In 1854, Edward Belcher abandoned his ship, HMS Resolute, in the sound while searching for John Franklin
