Grenville Channel


Grenville Channel is a strait on the North Coast of British Columbia, Canada, located between Pitt Island and the mainland to the south of Prince Rupert. The channel is part of the Inside Passage shipping route, about long and is wide at the narrowest part.
The Grenville Channel Fault that forms the channel dates back to the Cretaceous. Both sides of the channel are mountainous and densely wooded, and a linear magnetic anomaly runs parallel to the channel south of 51"30'N.
