Elisha Kane —whose Arctic venture in search of the lost Franklin expedition crossed the area in 1854— had named the Kane Basin itself "Peabody Bay," in honor of philanthropist George Peabody, the major funder of Kane's expedition. Currently, however, Peabody Bay is this smaller bay at the eastern side of the basin.
