	Frobisher Bay (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Frobisher Bay is a deep indentation in the extreme southeast coastline of BAFFIN ISLAND, over 230 km long and 40 km wide at the mouth, narrowing to 20 km towards its head.
		An abrupt contact between these units is marked by the high cliffs rising from the bay, which because of the tilting are 330 m high on the north shore and twice that height on the south shore.
		Overdeepening occurred during the Pleistocene glaciation, when the Frobisher Bay trough was filled by a major outlet glacier from ice centered over FOXE BASIN.

	West - Gold on credit: Martin Frobisher's and Walter Raleigh's economies of evidence.
		Frobisher's unspectacular voyages earn him a name and a reputation; a decade after his last voyage, while Michael Lok, a merchant who had put up much of the cost the voyages and had been Frobisher's partner, was in debtor's prison, Frobisher shared a command with Drake and Hawkins against the Armada.
		Frobisher is looking for something that will make the truth of his discovery certain and present it beyond a doubt to his royal audience and his potential investors in England.
		Frobisher is, in fact, a kind of idealist materialist, whose interest in certainty leads him to look for a transcendent proof in the world of things.

		Once in Arctic waters, Frobisher's personal aim for the modest first voyage may have been to return with enough evidence of a passage to persuade backers to give him a larger fleet for a return trip.
		Whether Frobisher had any confidence in the assays leading to this claim - certainly he did not get on well with most of the assayers - is unknown, but it provided him with further argument for a second expedition.
		The discovery that the ore was worthless made Frobisher and Lok targets for the dissatisfaction of investors in the voyages.

		Frobisher was born into a modest family of the Yorkshire gentry in 1540.
