context_page_description: Ungava Bay is a bay in northeastern Canada separating Nunavik from Baffin Island. Although not geographically apparent, it is considered to be a marginal sea of the Arctic Ocean for climatic reasons. The bay is roughly oval-shaped, about 260 km at its widest point and about 320 km in length; it has an area of approximately 50,000 km². It is generally fairly shallow, under 150 m, though at its border with the Atlantic Ocean depths of almost 300 m are reached.
