How to read this map
The Foxe Basin covers about 113,000 km² (43,600 sq mi) and reaches a maximum depth of about 90 m (295 ft). Countries with a coast on the Foxe Basin: Canada.
The blue outline marks the Foxe Basin as mapped by Natural Earth.
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 the Foxe Basin 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 the Foxe Basin is, not a surveyed boundary.
