River in Nunavut, Canada

The **Turnabout River** is located on [Ellesmere Island](/source/Ellesmere_Island), [Nunavut](/source/Nunavut), [Canada](/source/Canada). It drains both [Turnabout Lake](/source/Turnabout_Lake) and [Turnabout Glacier](/source/Turnabout_Glacier) into [Lake Hazen](/source/Lake_Hazen).

The river, the lake and [Turnabout Glacier](/source/Turnabout_Glacier) were named in 1957-58 during the [International Geophysical Year](/source/International_Geophysical_Year) by the *Hazen Camp* party directed by [Geoffrey Hattersley-Smith](/source/Geoffrey_Hattersley-Smith). The river was named *Turnabout* due to its meandering course.
