Kane Bassin
Kane Bassin er et sund eller stræde, der ligger mellem Grønland og Canada's nordligste ø, Ellesmere Island. Det forbinder Smith Sund med Kennedykanalen og er en del af Nares Strædet. Det er omtrent 180 kilometer langt og 130 km på det bredeste sted.
Det er opkaldt efter Elisha Kane, hvis eftersøgningsekspedition i sin søgen efter John Franklin krydsede det i 1854. Kane havde selv kaldt det "Peabody Bay" til ære for filantropen George Peabody, der finansierede Kanes ekspedition.[1]

A believer in the hypothesis of an open polar sea, he persuaded Grinnell, American financier George Peabody, the United States Navy Department, and several scientific societies to sponsor a second expedition to go north from Baffin Bay to the shores of the "Polar Sea" in search of Franklin. [...] The Advance then proceeded up the west coast of Greenland and into the sound Kane named Peabody Bay (later renamed Kane Basin) where, by the end of August, its northward progress was stopped by the ice.
