Kodlunarn Island, known as Qallunaaq[note 1] (White Man's Island) in Inuktitut[3]: 8  and originally named Countess of Warwick Island, is a small island located in Frobisher Bay in the Canadian territory of Nunavut.[4] During the 1570s, explorer Martin Frobisher led expeditions to the island to mine what he believed was gold ore. The ore turned out to be worthless, and the island was ignored by explorers until Charles Francis Hall, inspired by oral history accounts from the Inuit of Frobisher Bay, visited the site in 1861 to investigate the remains of Frobisher's expeditions. Notable features of the island include two large mining trenches and the remains of a stone house built by Frobisher in 1578. Kodlunarn Island was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1964.
