Gabriel Island is a small island located in the far north of Canada. It is found off the coast of Baffin Island, which is a very large island in the Canadian Arctic. Gabriel Island is part of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, a huge group of islands in the Arctic Ocean.
This island is situated within Frobisher Bay, a large bay in the territory of Nunavut. To be more exact, it lies south of an area called Hamlen Bay. It is also southwest of the Hall Peninsula, which is a part of Baffin Island.
Gabriel Island has several other islands nearby. To its east, you can find Nouyarn Island. To the west is McLean Island, and to the northwest lies Chase Island. Like many islands in this cold northern region, Gabriel Island is uninhabited, meaning no people live there.
