The Davis Strait is located between Greenland and Canada, specifically separating Greenland's northeastern coast from the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. It connects Baffin Bay to the north with the Labrador Sea to the south. The strait is named after the English explorer John Davis, who navigated the area in the late 16th century.
