North Star Bay (Danish: North Star Bugt), also known as Thule Harbor and Wolstenholme Bay,[1] is a bay off the mouth of Wolstenholme Fjord, Greenland.
The bay is named after HMS North Star. Pituffik Space Base is located at the edge of the bay. There are two large islands in the bay, Saunders Island and Wolstenholme Island. The channel to the south, between Saunders Island and the mainland is known as Bylot Sound.[2]
