Putulik, formerly Hat Island,[2] is a small (about 4 km × 8 km ) uninhabited island located in the Kitikmeot of Nunavut, Canada. The island is situated in Victoria Strait (Queen Maud Gulf) approximately 110 km (68 mi) southeast of Victoria Island and 80 km (50 mi) southwest of King William Island. The Requisite Channel separates the island from Amundsen Island, the larger of the Nordenskiöld Islands.
