You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.222.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:53, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Bellot Strait''' is a [[strait]] in [[Nunavut]] that separates [[Somerset Island (Nunavut)|Somerset Island]] to its north from the [[Murchison Promontory]] of [[Boothia Peninsula]] to its south, which is the northernmost part of the mainland of [[the Americas]]. The ((convert|2|km|mi|spell=in|adj=mid|-wide)) and ((convert|25|km|mi|adj=mid|-long)) strait connects the [[Gulf of Boothia]], [[Prince Regent Inlet]], and [[Brentford Bay]] to its east with [[Peel Sound]] and [[Franklin Strait]] to its west.

==Geography==
[[File:Bellot Strait satellite.jpg|thumb|Satellite image of Bellot Strait]]
The north side of the strait rises steeply to approximately ((convert|450|m)), and the south shore to approximately ((convert|750|m)). The current in the strait can run at up to ((convert|8|kn|lk=in)) and often changes its direction. It is also often filled with small [[iceberg]]s which pose a danger to ships in the strait.

==History==
[[File:Bellot Strait, September 1858.png|thumb|One of the earliest depictions of the strait, showing one attempt by the McClintock expedition to pass through]]
The first Europeans to see the strait were the Canadian explorer  [[William Kennedy (captain)|William Kennedy]] and the French naval officer [[Joseph René Bellot]], who reached it by dogsled from [[Batty Bay]] in 1852. This proved that Somerset was an island and that Prince Regent Inlet had a difficult westward exit.

In 1858, [[Francis Leopold McClintock]] tried to pass the strait but had to abandon the attempt. The strait was first crossed from west to east by the [[Hudson's Bay Company]] ship ''Aklavik'' in 1937, piloted by Scotty Gall. [[Henry Larsen (explorer)|Henry Larsen]] crossed it in 1942 on the first west-east transit of the [[Northwest Passage]].

The [[Fort Ross, Nunavut|Fort Ross]] trading post on the northern shore was established in 1937, and lasted for 11&nbsp;years. However, the building has been refurbished and strengthened, and acts as a refuge for researchers and crews of small boats passing through.
