The Solomons Temple Islands are a group of islands in the Canadian Arctic. No one lives on these islands. They are found in the middle of James Bay in Nunavut, Canada.

You can find the islands north of Charlton Island. They are also southwest of Paint Hills Islands, Pointe au Huard, and Andrew Moar Bay. The Solomons Temple Islands are about 4 km (2.5 mi) across.

History of the Solomons Temple Islands

Early Studies and Discoveries

In 1950, a scientist named Thomas Henry Manning visited the Solomons Temple Islands. He studied the northern beach of the islands. Manning was interested in how high the tide reached. He looked at the lines of driftwood left behind by unusually high tides. This helped him understand the history of the water levels in the area.
