UNGAVA
Shallow Ungava Bay lies to the south of Hudson Strait. The northeast shore of Ungava Peninsula near the Hudson Strait has several open-water marvels because of the interaction of a shallow bottom and strong tides.
Ungava means "hatching of streams" in Old Norse. The Peninsula is nearly devoid of trees but grows lichen that is food for the caribou. But even if the peninsula appears barren, there are some interesting structures located on the terrain. The structures include the stone beacons, Thor's hammer, remains of an European village at Payne's Lake and the low walls at Pamiok and other places on the eastern shore.
