The Ruggles River is a waterway in Qikiqtaaluk Region, Nunavut, Canada. It is located within Ellesmere Island's Quttinirpaaq National Park. The river is the only outflow for Lake Hazen.[1] It flows southeast to and out to Lady Franklin Bay.
The river drops 157 m (515 ft) in elevation between its source and its mouth. At less than 1.5 m (4.9 ft) deep, it is quite shallow.[2] Except during very cold years, the Ruggles River remains partially open all year long. It is populated by Arctic char.[2]
History[]
In 1958, a 13th-century winter house was excavated along the Ruggles River.[3]
