Roes Welcome Sound
Roes Welcome Sound is a long channel at the northwest end of Hudson Bay in Kivalliq Region, Nunavut, Canada between the mainland on the west and Southampton Island on the east. It opens south into Hudson Bay. Its north end joins Repulse Bay which is connected east through Frozen Strait to Foxe Basin, thereby making Southampton Island an island. Wager Bay is a western branch. It is situated north of Marble Island.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Marble Island, experience the mystery )〕 Roes Welcome Sound measures long, and wide.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Roes Welcome Sound )〕
In 1613 it was reached by Thomas Button who called it 'Ne Ultra'. It is named after Sir Thomas Roe, friend and sponsor of explorer Luke Fox's 1631 Arctic voyage.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Thomas James and Luke Foxe )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=JSTOR: The History of American Ornithology before Audubon )〕 Capt. Parry, trying to find the Northwest Passage during his 1821 voyage, wrote:
"On an inspection of the charts, I think it will also appear probable that a communication will one day be found to exist between this inlet (Prince Regent's) and Hudson's Bay, either through the broad and unexplored channel called Sir Thomas Roe's Welcome, or through Repulse Bay, which has not yet been satisfactorily examined."
Roes Welcome Sound is a bowhead whale migratory path, discussed in W. Gillies Ross' 1974 published paper, ''Distribution, Migration, and Depletion of Bowhead Whales in Hudson Bay, 1860 to 1915''.
