Desbarats Basin is a deep, open-water bay located at the east end of Desbarats Strait in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. It extends southeast along the east side of Cameron Island, with depths exceeding 600 meters. This is a remote, high-Arctic marine environment in Nunavut. The basin's connection to Desbarats Strait suggests exposure to the open waters of the Arctic Ocean, resulting in significant fetch for wind-driven waves. Paddlers must anticipate strong, cold winds and the potential for sudden, severe weather changes typical of the region. The extreme depth indicates no shallow hazards within the basin itself, but the surrounding coastline of Cameron Island and the adjacent strait would be the primary areas for potential landings. There is no information on specific launch sites, amenities, or established routes. Paddling here is an expeditionary undertaking suitable only for highly experienced, self-sufficient teams equipped for remote Arctic travel, with all necessary safety, navigation, and survival gear. The area is ice-covered for much of the year, limiting any practical paddling season to a brief window in the high summer when sea ice has retreated.
