[edit] Summary
| Description |
Numerous shorelines around Hudson and St. James Bays are distinctive in winter because of snow cover. The area shown in this Shuttle image is located in Hannah Bay, in the southern part of St. James Bay. The river is the Harricanaw River. Shorelines along the bay were created when the overlying glaciers retreated and the land underneath rebounded causing the Hudson/St James Bay waters to retreat northward. These ridges are 100 to 200 m in width and heights can reach up to 7 m. The land along St. James Bay consists mainly of tidal flats and salt marshes. |
