Located in the [[Arctic Ocean]], they are also members of the [[Queen Elizabeth Islands]] and [[Arctic Archipelago]]. They lie within the [[Sverdrup Channel]] between [[Meighen Island]] and the west coast of [[Axel Heiberg Island]]. [[Peary Channel]] and [[Amund Ringnes Island]] are to the south. The Fay Islands are four very small islands, on occasion mistaken as [[sediment]]-loaded [[glaciers]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.arctic.uoguelph.ca/cpe/environments/maps/detailed/islands/meighen.htm |title=Meighen Island |access-date=2008-06-04 |publisher=uoguelph.ca}}</ref>
