Located in the [Arctic Ocean](/source/Arctic_Ocean), they are also members of the [Queen Elizabeth Islands](/source/Queen_Elizabeth_Islands) and [Arctic Archipelago](/source/Arctic_Archipelago). They lie within the [Sverdrup Channel](/source/Sverdrup_Channel) between [Meighen Island](/source/Meighen_Island) and the west coast of [Axel Heiberg Island](/source/Axel_Heiberg_Island). [Peary Channel](/source/Peary_Channel) and [Amund Ringnes Island](/source/Amund_Ringnes_Island) are to the south. The Fay Islands are four very small islands, on occasion mistaken as [sediment](/source/Sediment)-loaded [glaciers](/source/Glaciers).[1]
