1 Photographs previously taken by the Royal Canadian Air Force had shown that what was thought to be a low peninsula at the north-western end of Cornwallis Island is in fact a separate island, separated in turn from Bathurst Island by a slightly wider channel, named Crozier Strait. It is not known through which of these channels Franklin passed in 1845. Neither channel was discovered by the Franklin search expeditions and until the Franklin records were found on King William Island in 1859, Cornwallis Island and Bathurst Island were thought to be connected.
