On the south coast of Cornwallis Island in the Queen Elizabeth Islands, Resolute is the stepping stone and base camp headquarters for many North Pole expeditions. Much scientific research is also conducted from this community. Humans are known to have inhabited the Resolute Bay area for the past four thousand years, and the remains of four winter villages lie close to the community of Resolute. Resolute was named after the H.M.S. Resolute, one of the ships in the ill-fated Franklin search expedition of 1845. Cornwallis Island was one of the last known places circled by Franklin before his expedition sailed southward and disappeared forever.
