has a very alternative existence on the Canadian map, that is Hudson Bay. This place is out of place on Canada's land area and feels like a large piece has been dug out. Although this bay connecting the ocean is completely surrounded by Canada, it does not belong to Canada at all. What's going on?
Hudson Bay was named after the 16th century British explorer and navigator Henry Hudson . He discovered the area on his way to explore the Northwest Passage in August 1610 by Virginia Company and the British East India Company. However, it was during this trip that because of his obsession, he continued to sail when the conditions were not met, and was eventually betrayed by his friends and exiled by the rebel crew with a small boat to exile Hudson and his son and six frail crew members. Hudson was eventually buried in the north.
Hudson Bay has an area of about 819,000 square kilometers, is about 1,375 kilometers long from north to south and about 960 kilometers wide from east to west. is Canada's quasi-inland sea. There is a Hudson Strait in the northeast of Hudson Bay. Passing this strait, Hudson Bay connects to Atlantic , and to the north, it connects to Arctic Ocean through the Free-Haukra Strait and Fox Bay. In other words, this bay has two straits that can be connected to the ocean.
In fact, it can be seen from the map that this Hudson Bay is completely surrounded by Canadian territory. According to our ordinary people's perception, this place should belong to Canada, but the facts are different from what we imagined.
According to the provisions of the United Nations Maritime Convention, a country has sovereignty over 12 nautical miles along the coast. In other words, the northern part of Canada passes through the Freekla Strait and the Hudson Strait in the northeast, with a width of no more than 24 nautical miles. Then this place belongs to the inland sea in Canada. How many kilometers are 24 nautical miles? It is about 44 kilometers, which means that if the two straits in Canada do not exceed 44 kilometers, then this Hudson Bay belongs to Canada.
However, we found that the widest part of the Fry-Haukra Strait in northern Canada is only 20 kilometers, which fully meets the provisions of the United Nations Convention on Marine. However, the narrowest part of the Hudson Strait, which is 720 kilometers in length in the northeast is 60 kilometers. That's why it is said that Hudson Bay is not the inland sea of Canada.
, while our Chinese Bohai is completely China's inland sea. Why is this? Let's take a look together.
in the Liaodong Peninsula to Penglai Gorge on the Shandong Peninsula, it is 106 kilometers long. This distance does not meet the provisions of the International Marine Convention less than 44 nautical miles. However, in this sea area between the Liaodong Peninsula and the Shandong Peninsula, there are a series of 液国大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大� Among these islands, one is called Beihuangcheng Island, and the distance between them and the Liaodong Peninsula is no more than 44 nautical miles, only 41.8 kilometers. Therefore, according to the International Maritime Convention, the Bohai Sea is undoubtedly the inland sea of our country, and there is no doubt.
Although Canada does not take advantage of the Ocean Convention, foreign ships can sail freely in Hudson Bay, according to the Ocean Convention, a country along the mainland can have exclusive economic rights to the sea 200 kilometers away from its coastline, that is, most of the resources in the entire Hudson Bay belong to Canada. Even in the Hudson Strait, Canada has actual control over the 12 nautical miles of both sides of the strait, and the narrow part allows foreign ships to pass.
From the above, we can see that most of the resource ownership of Hudson Bay is actually from Canada. If other countries want to develop resources in Hudson Bay's high seas in Hudson Bay, it is undoubtedly a fire. Besides, the navigation conditions in the entire Hudson Bay are not very good. The temperature is very low most of the year. There shouldn’t be any country looking for trouble!
