Frobisher Bay

Frobisher Bay, inlet of the North Atlantic Ocean, cutting deeply into southeastern Baffin Island, in Canada's Nunavut Territory. The bay is 240 km (150 mi) long and 64 km (40 mi) wide and has exceptionally high tides. The town of Iqaluit (formerly Frobisher Bay) is near the head of the bay. Visited in 1576 by Sir Martin Frobisher, the bay is named for him.
