Clyde River is a waterway on the eastern coast of Baffin Island in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut, Canada.

Geography

[edit]

The river outflows from Generator Lake at the southeastern end of Barnes Ice Cap in the Baffin Mountains. It flows in a roughly northeastern direction before reaching the head of Clyde Fiord in Kangiqtugaapik, Baffin Bay.[2]

The nearest settlement, also named Clyde River, is approximately 100 kilometres (62 mi) to the northeast of the river's mouth.
