		Foxe Basin () is a shallow basin north of Hudson Bay, in Nunavut, Canada, located between Baffin Island and the Melville Peninsula.
		The nutrient-rich cold waters found in the basin are known to be especially favorable to phytoplankton and the numerous islands within it are important bird habitats, including Sabine's Gulls and many types of shorebirds.
		Foxe Basin is a broad, predominantly shallow depression, generally less than 100 m in depth, while to the south, depths of up to 400 m occur.

		FOX (Foxe), LUKE, English navigator and arctic explorer, son of Richard Fox, master mariner of Hull; b.
		As a youth he sailed in European waters and acquired ability, as he says, in “the use of the globes and other mathematicke instruments.” By the age of 20 he was fascinated by the possibility of discovering a northwest passage to the Orient.
		He followed the coast of what is now Foxe Peninsula, making soundings and tidal observations all the way, to the point he named Cape Dorchester, the land about being whimsically dubbed (22 September) “Fox his farthest” and by his reckoning just beyond the Arctic Circle (66º47´N) but more likely about l´ south of it.

	Sea Ice - Where do we find it?
		Ice is rarely a persistent navigation hazard in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and St. Lawrence River until early January, except along the south shore of the river where frequent ice floe interaction occurs.
		Ice in Foxe Basin is characterized by its extreme roughness and muddy appearance, large areas of land-fast ice and the fact that the pack ice appears to be in constant motion.
		The roughness of the ice is due to motion and stress produced by currents, winds, thermal expansion, and particularly to the large tidal ranges.

	Visible Earth: Foxe Basin, Canada
		In eastern Canada, ice is thinning in the Basmussen Basin (upper left corner), the Gulf of Boothia (top left edge), and in several inlets along the shores of the Nunavut Province (center).
		To their north is the Foxe Basin, named after Luke Foxe, who explored the area extensively in the hopes of finding an easy sea passage across North America.
		Instead, his extensive exploration of Foxe Basin and the Hudson Bay proved that a safe passage did not exist in that direction, and forced future explorers to seek the passage farther north.
