Hudson Bay Drainage Basin
The Hudson Bay drainage basin is the drainage basin in northern North America where surface water empties into Hudson Bay and adjoining waters. Spanning an area of about , the basin is almost totally in Canada (spanning parts of the Prairies, central and northern Canada), with a small portion in the United States (in Montana, the Dakotas, and Minnesota). The watershed's connection to the Labrador Sea is at the Hudson Strait's mouth between Resolution Island in the Qikiqtaaluk Region and Cape Chidley on the Labrador Peninsula. The watershed's headwaters to the south-west are on the Continental Divide of the Americas, bounded at Triple Divide Peak to the south, and Snow Dome to the north. The western and northern boundary of the watershed is the Arctic Divide, and the southern and eastern boundary is the Laurentian Divide. left, Rupert's Land, granted as a commercial monopoly to the Hudson's Bay Company in 1670 Hudson Bay is often considered part of the Arctic Ocean.

Firebag River
The Firebag River is a river in northern Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada. It gets its name from the traditional bags Aboriginals once used to carry fire-starting flints. Firebag River in western Canada It originates in ''Firebag Lake'' in northwestern Saskatchewan, flows west into Alberta, and discharges in the Athabasca River 65 km north of Fort McKay. The length of the river is approximately 170 km, and the average discharge at the Athabasca River confluence is 20 m³/s. The southern tract of ''Marguerite River Wildland'' protects part of the river valley, and a recreation park for Northeast Alberta Region located along the river has been proposed in 1980 Suncor has an SAGD project in production (the ''Firebag in-situ operation''), extracting bitumen from the oil sands of the McMurray Formation located in the river basin. - Firebag in-situ oil ...

Clearwater River (Saskatchewan)
The Clearwater River is located in the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta.

It was part of an important trade route during the fur trade era and has been designated as a Canadian Heritage River. Course The Clearwater River has a total length of . It flows south-eastward from its headwaters at Broach Lake and turns to the south-west from Careen Lake to the Alberta / Saskatchewan border. From there it flows westward for a distance of to join the Athabasca River at Fort McMurray. The section of the river in Fort McMurray is affectionately referred to as ''the Chant''. From Broach Lake at an elevation of above sea level, the Clearwater drops about to the confluence at Fort McMurray.

Geikie River (Saskatchewan)
The Geikie River is a river in northern Canadian province of Saskatchewan. Its source is Costigan Lake located near the uranium producing areas around the Key Lake mine in the Athabasca Basin and flows in a north-easterly direction to drain into Wollaston Lake. As the primary inflow of Wollaston Lake, the largest natural bifurcation lake in the world, the Geikie River's most unusual feature is that it straddles a major drainage divide which separates waters flowing into Hudson Bay from those flowing into the Arctic Ocean. From Wollaston Lake, waters from the Geikie River can flow into either the Fond du Lac River which flows out of the lake to the north-west where it drains into Lake Athabasca which ultimately drains into the Arctic Ocean via the Mackenzie River system, or into the Cochrane River which flows out of the north-eastern side of the lake and into Reindeer Lake which drains via the Churchill River system into Hudson Bay. If Hudson Bay is defined as part of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Arctic Ocean
The Arctic Ocean is the smallest and shallowest of the world's five major oceans. It spans an area of approximately and is known as the coldest of all the oceans. The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) recognizes it as an ocean, although some oceanographers call it the Arctic Mediterranean Sea. It has been described approximately as an estuary of the Atlantic Ocean. It is also seen as the northernmost part of the all-encompassing World Ocean. The Arctic Ocean includes the North Pole region in the middle of the Northern Hemisphere and extends south to about 60°N. The Arctic Ocean is surrounded by Eurasia and North America, and the borders follow topographic features: the Bering Strait on the Pacific side and the Greenland Scotland Ridge on the Atlantic side. It is mostly covered by sea ice throughout the year and almost completely in winter. The Arctic Ocean's surface temperature and salinity vary seasonally as the ice cover melts and freezes; its salinity is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Wollaston Lake
Wollaston Lake is a lake in north-eastern Saskatchewan, Canada. It is northeast of Prince Albert. With a surface area of (excluding islands; if islands are included), it is the largest bifurcation lake in the world – that is, a lake that drains naturally in two directions. About 10% of the lake's water drains into the Fond du Lac River, which flows out of the lake to the north-west, where it drains into Lake Athabasca, which ultimately drains into the Arctic Ocean via the Mackenzie River system. The rest of the water drains into the Cochrane River, which flows out of the north-eastern side of the lake and into Reindeer Lake, which drains via the Churchill River system into Hudson Bay. Wollaston Lake's main inflow is the Geikie River which flows from the south-west into the south-west section of the lake. If Hudson Bay is considered an arm of the Atlantic Ocean, then the Geikie is the largest river in the world to flow naturally into two oceans. Wollaston Lake i ...
