Boothia Peninsula (formerly '''Boothia Felix''') is a large Peninsula in the Canadian Arctic .

It was named by the Scottish explorer John Ross in 1829 after Felix Booth , the patron of Ross' second expedition. Ross encountered there a large Inuit community whom he described as living in "snow cottages" – Igloos – and immortalized in the painting ''North Hendon'' {Link without Title} .
