Hakluyt Island (Greenlandic: Appasuak, Danish: Hakluyt Ø) is an island in Baffin Bay, in Avannaata municipality, off northwest Greenland.[1]

Geography

Hakluyt Island lies off the western shore of Kiatak (Northumberland Island). It is part of a small group of coastal islands formed by Kiatak, Herbert Island and Hakluyt Island, Hakluyt being the smallest of the three.[2] Aligned from east to west, the islands lie off the Inglefield Fjord, between the Murchison Sound to the north and the Hvalsund to the south.[3]
