Nunavut Sawtooth Range
The Sawtooth Range is a jagged snow-capped mountain range on central Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, Canada.
It lies between the Fosheim Peninsula and the Wolf Valley. The Sawtooth Range is a subrange of the Arctic Cordillera. It also runs through a Canadian Forces Station, called Eureka, a base used to study atmospheric changes.
