From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
River in Nunavut, Canada
The Turnabout River is located on Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, Canada. It drains both Turnabout Lake and Turnabout Glacier into Lake Hazen.
The river, the lake and Turnabout Glacier were named in 1957-58 during the International Geophysical Year by the Hazen Camp party directed by Geoffrey Hattersley-Smith. The river was named Turnabout due to its meandering course.
