I have removed the reference to John Franklin, because the suggestion that he sailed through this strait is a serious error. It was Franklin's decision to enter the Victoria Strait (to the west of King William Island) rather than James Ross Strait (to its east) that led to his ships being trapped in the ice, and ultimately, to the failure of his expedition. By contrast, the successful Amundsen did choose James Ross Strait. See also Franklin's lost expedition, Section 7: Other factors. Richard Lugg (talk) 20:31, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
