Hudson Bay
New York Harbor, the outflow for
Hudson River, is sometimes called "Hudson's Bay". Hudson Bay (French: baie d'Hudson) is a large (1.23 million km²), relatively shallow body of water in northeastern
Canada. It drains a very large area that includes parts of
Ontario,
Quebec,
Saskatchewan,
Alberta, most of
Manitoba, parts of
North Dakota and
Minnesota, and the southeastern area of
Nunavut. A smaller offshoot of the bay,
James Bay, lies to the south. The
IHO, in its Special Publication 23, Limits of Oceans and Seas, fourth edition, lists Hudson Bay as part of the
Arctic Ocean. On the east it is connected with the
Atlantic Ocean by
Hudson Strait, and on the north with the rest of the Arctic Ocean by
Foxe Basin (which is not considered part of the bay) and
Fury and Hecla Strait.
Geographic coordinates: 78° to 95° W, 51° to 70° N.
