Lake Beechey


Lake Beechey is a lake in the Kitikmeot Region, Nunavut, Canada. It is a long, narrow, lake-expansion of the Back River. It is part of the western Canadian Precambrian Shield. It contains a few unnamed islands.
Historically, Lake Beechey was the southernmost territory of Copper Inuit.
The first European to explore the lake was George Back and named by Sir John Franklin in honour of Frederick William Beechey.
