Hudson Bay Lowlands

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Just as the Innuitian Mountains are not well known, the Hudson Bay Lowlands are also not familiar to most Canadians. This is a small, poorly drained piece of wetlands wedged between the Canadian Shield and southern shores of Hudson Bay and James Bay.[1] Many wide and slow-moving rivers flow through this area toward the salt water of Hudson Bay. Mosquitoes and black flies thrive here. This is a sparsely populated region. There are a few small First Nations settlements on the southern shore of Hudson Bay at places like Moose Factory, Moosonee, and Fort Severn. The Lowlands also make up a significant portion of Canada's oil and natural gas production.
