How big is the Ungava Bay?
About 44,704 km² of water inside its Natural Earth outline, counted from the grid cells that are below sea level.
How much of the Ungava Bay would be land if sea level dropped?
With the sea 10 m lower, about 2,336 km² (5.2%) of its water would be land. At 6,000 m lower, 100% would be. This is a simple bathtub model that lowers the sea evenly everywhere.
