Umingmalik formerly Gateshead Island[1] is an island located in the Kitikmeot Region of Nunavut, Canada. Located in M'Clintock Channel, the area of Gateshead Island is around 220 km2 (85 sq mi).[2] It is an important polar bear denning area.[3]

This is a different island than the one visited by Richard Collinson, commanding HMS Enterprise, while searching for John Franklin.[4]
