What is Hudson Bay?
[[File:HudsonBay.PNG|thumb|right|Hudson Bay map]] The '''Hudson Bay''' is a bay that goes into East-central [[Canada]]. It is the fourth largest [[sea]] in the [[world]] with an area of 316,000 [[square mile]]s (819,000 [[square kilometre]]s). The northern and western shores belong to [[Nunavut]], the southern shore is split between [[Manitoba]] and [[Ontario]], and the eastern shore belongs to [[Quebec]]. It is connected with the [[Atlantic Ocean]] through the [[Hudson Strait]], which is in the northeast of the bay, and with the Arctic Ocean through the [[Foxe Channel]] in the north part of the bay. It was named for the [[England|English]] explorer [[Henry Hudson]], who, in 1610 on the ship ''Discovery'', found the bay and claimed it for England. == Other websites == *[http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9041392/Hudson-Bay Britannica Online-Hudson Bay] {{Regions of North America}} {{List of seas}} [[Category:Seas]] [[Category:Bays of Canada]]
