Title: Ice formations in Canada's Hudson Bay as seen from Skylab
Description:
An oblique view of ice formations in Canada's Hudson Bay (59.0N, 91.0W), as 
photographed from the Skylab space station in Earth orbit by one of the 
Skylab 4 crewmen. The southwestern part of the bay is prominent with the 
Nelson River in Manitoba flowing into it. The ice formation along the 
southwest portion of Hudson Bay can be studied from the photographs such as 
this one. The buildup of ice along the windward shore (very white) followed 
by the clear water gap (dark) caused by the wind blowing the newly formed
ice  toward the opposite shore.
