Ungava Bay, covering 621,000 sq. km (239,700 sq. mi.) and only ice-free in summer, is in the north-east of the Labrador peninsula, opening onto the Hudson Strait. The many large rivers flowing into the bay include the George, Koksoak, Leaf, Payne and Whale. Large iron ore deposits were found around the bay in the 1950s and these are now being mined on a grand scale.
