Hudson Bay
Hudson Bay is usually frozen six months of the year. From December to June the ice enables walking journeys from west Ungava Peninsula shores to the west and east coasts of James Bay. A similar journey, by boat in the summer, would be plagued by swarms of mosquitos and flies.
Fir twenty-seven years during the Little Ice Age Hudson Bay would have had open water for only two months in the summer. For a few years Hudson Bay might have been frozen year around.
No known open water marvels exist in Hudson Bay. The tidal surge is more sedate than on the east coast of Ungava Peninsula.
