Dixon Island is a small island located in the far northern part of Canada. It is part of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, which is a huge group of islands in the Arctic Ocean. This island is found in the territory of Nunavut.
Dixon Island lies within the Franklin Strait. This is a narrow body of water that connects larger seas. To the south of Dixon Island, you'll find Hobday Island. Even further south is the much larger Prince of Wales Island. Dixon Island is not home to any people.
