Not to sound stupid but I am seriously curious, are there any recreational beaches on the Hudson Bay or is it just too cold, or too sparsely populated, or not enough wave action for sand beaches, or too darn many polar bears? Seriously though, are there any recreational beaches there? Thanks

The Mediterranean sea article says Hudson's Bay would fit its definition of a Mediterranean sea, except it was so shallow it functions like a huge estuary. So, how shallow is it? -- Geo Swan 11:47, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
Isostatic rebound is said to be greatest in the world in the Hudson bay area, and in the northern climes of Norway and Sweden. Both areas are rising in excess of 15 mm annually. Thus, not only is the bay getting shallower, but the shoreline is shrinking. This is readily apparent on the western shoreline, where marine deposits are visible many miles from the current lakebed. The lakebed is attributed by many geologists to the weight of the last ice sheet, said to have exceed two miles in thickness, centered over the current bay area. These same authorities suggest the bay will eventally disappear, unless the next ice age intervenes first.... 98.212.239.101 ( talk) 04:26, 1 September 2010 (UTC)Coors lite
Is Hudson Bay considered world's largest? I've heard it claimed... Trekphiler 18:30, 17 December 2005 (UTC)It is the largest bay.
what about the semi-circled shoreline on the quebecois side? look like a huge meteorite impact.. is anything known about that? 790 09:07, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
It indeed does look like a huge meteorite impact (I found my way here through Google Earth :), complete with a center formation (obviously shaped by the continental ice sheets moving across here). The Clearwater Lakes could have been formed by parts of this huge meteorite, along with a number of smaller impact sites nearby. The possibility of an impact has been noted, and a little googling reveals it's been studied, too: Earth Impact Database
But what if there is no clear shock metamorphism because the impact happened during the ice age? That would greatly lessen the impact on the ground. I'm just guessing here, but it would seem odd that a shoreline would be naturally that circular - even less when there's plenty of ice scour marks on the nearby lakes. maraz 10:20, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

What made the Hudson bay to have no brecciated rocks and shock or shattered cones, is due to the fact that the humonguous shattered cones were almost flattened by glaciers and are now humpbacked shaped bedrocks in various locations on the shoreline west of the Hudson bay coast. Also the mantle rippled when the space rock made a hole, and the ripples are an esker sized bedrock! AWESOME FORMATION!

Yes, all one need do is spend a few seconds with Google Earth to see that the bay and the "tail" extending southward are obviously a huge impact crater. (Also, compare to images of the crater off the Yucatan peninsula). If the experts think that there is no evidence of an impact, then they are simply overlooking something (such as the fact that repeated ice ages would have erased most of that evidence). Also, considering the size of the bay compared to the impact that supposedly killed off the dinosaurs, it must have caused a mass extinction event on a much larger scale (and thus it might have cause the P-T extinction event, or it might have occurred even before that). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.28.177.80 ( talk) 15:19, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
The tail, if he means the "James Bay", is another feature derived from another more recent impact. The impact of Iles De La Madeleine, which caused a deep portion of Hudson Bay to form, and the Hudson Strait. Also the "Great Lakes" were also formed, and the New Found Land, Hudson River, and St. Lawrence River, leading to the New Madrid Seismic Zone. The North Cordilleran Volcanic Rift was also created and made the B.C. Coast to inch away towards the Pacific every year.

We were told of Dorset people became extinct around 1500's. They aren't gone, they're still around. This is one of the reasons why I do not trust the scientific community. They say this and that, but because they are so small, they cannot even find the quartz boulders, and porous rocks that dot our land. One of the quartz boulder, the size of about a meter cubed, is now under quagmire and mud. There are quite of few of these but are now under the mud, probably about from few inches to about 6 feet. The stages of global climate change has made a lot of difficulties, including finding what the experts want to see, brecciated rocks, quartz boulders, and other land features. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arviatlands ( talk • contribs) 19:44, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
The article reads: “It [Hudson Bay] drains a large portion of the northern areas of Ontario, Quebec, and Manitoba, and the southeastern area of Nunavut.” It surely drains southern Ontario and Manitoba as well. In fact, large portions of northwestern Minnesota and eastern and northern North Dakota and small portions of northeastern South Dakota and northeastern Montana also drain into Hudson Bay.

Hudson Bay is 1.23 million km², making it the second-largest bay in the world (after the Bay of Bengal). It is relatively shallow, with an average depth of about 100 meters (compared to 2,600 meters in the Bay of Bengal). It is approximately 1,370 km (850 mi) long and 1,050 km (650 mi) wide.[2] 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.
Hudson bay is the largest body of water all within one country
LisaWange ( talk) 15:16, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
Has anyone ever considered trying to build a huge dam, levy, or sea wall across the narrow channels that connect the bay to the ocean?
If the bay already has a measurably lowered salt content than the rest of the ocean, it may be possible through damming for it to become the largest freshwater lake in the world after several decades of flushing out the salts and preventing the salts from re-entering the basin through tidal forces and diffusion.
This is certainly an interesting idea if global warming were to follow the suggested path of melting the permafrost and the United States and Mexico becoming more arid. Having the largest freshwater lake in the world would hold significant economic value for Canada if that region were to become more temperate.

This is an old idea /info/en/?search=Great_Recycling_and_Northern_Development_Canal. Basically dam James bay, pump the water about 500 km south to the great lakes with nuclear power, and send more water south to the Mississippi River from Lake Michigan (Currently a good deal of water is taken from Lake Michigan and put into the Mississippi river watershed to go south. Lake Michigan flowed into the Mississippi at one time.
Anyway, a project of such massive scale probably won't ever happen, not to mention the environmental consequences. Exhilaration157 ( talk) 04:23, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

The sentence describing the drainage basin might place a little bit of unnecessary relevance on the current political political geography when describing the physical geography.
"It drains a very large area, about 4,041,400 square kilometres (1,560,400 sq mi), that includes parts of Ontario, Quebec, Saskatchewan, Alberta, most of Manitoba, southeastern Nunavut, as well as parts of North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, and Montana."
It seems that the "as well as part of" makes an arbitrary distinction between these two groups of land areas with out explaining what makes them warrant separation. Perhaps one of these two suggestions would work better:
1. It drains a very large area, about 4,041,400 square kilometres (1,560,400 sq mi), that includes parts of Ontario, Quebec, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba, Nunavut, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, and Montana.
