ABOUT THIS MAP

Baffin Bay

Baffin Bay is a marginal sea of the North Atlantic, stretching roughly 1,450 km between Greenland's western coast and Canada's Baffin Island. Connected to the Arctic Ocean via Nares Strait and to the Labrador Sea through Davis Strait, it is one of the principal nurseries of North Atlantic icebergs — the Jakobshavn and other Greenlandic glaciers calve here, sending ice southward along the Labrador Current.

The bay freezes over for much of the year, and the open water that remains in summer — the North Water Polynya at its northern end — is one of the most biologically productive Arctic regions, sustaining narwhals, beluga whales, polar bears, and the Inughuit communities of northwest Greenland. Navigating its waters means threading between pack ice, fog banks, and icebergs the size of city blocks.
