Water flow in the strait is sometimes westerly and sometimes easterly – there are diurnal and semidiurnal components to the flows; tidal and subtidal effects also play a role. The strait provides Arctic Ocean drainage for Hudson Bay via Foxe Basin. Several islands of the <a href="/wiki/Arctic_Archipelago" title="Arctic Archipelago">Arctic Archipelago</a> are located inside the strait: <a href="/wiki/Saglirjuaq" title="Saglirjuaq">Saglirjuaq</a> (Liddon Island), <a href="/wiki/Simialuk" title="Simialuk">Simialuk</a> (Ormonde Island) and <a href="/wiki/Saglaarjuk" title="Saglaarjuk">Saglaarjuk</a> (Amherst Island) are the largest ones. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History_of_exploration">History of exploration</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Fury_and_Hecla_Strait&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: History of exploration"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Strait is named after the <a href="/wiki/Royal_Navy" title="Royal Navy">Royal Navy</a> ships <a href="/wiki/HMS_Fury_(1814)" title="HMS Fury (1814)">HMS <i>Fury</i></a> and <a href="/wiki/HMS_Hecla_(1815)" title="HMS Hecla (1815)">HMS <i>Hecla</i></a>, which encountered the strait in 1822 during an expedition led by <a href="/wiki/William_Parry_(explorer)" class="mw-redirect" title="William Parry (explorer)">Sir William Edward Parry</a>.
