How to read this map
Baffin Bay covers about 689,000 km² (266,000 sq mi) and reaches a maximum depth of about 2,136 m (7,008 ft). Countries with a coast on Baffin Bay: Canada and Greenland.
The blue outline marks Baffin Bay as mapped by Natural Earth. Labeled countries: Greenland.
Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of Baffin Bay come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the outline is a guide to where Baffin Bay is, not a surveyed boundary.
