| 10 m | 164 km² | 7.4% |
| 20 m | 312 km² | 14.1% |
| 50 m | 720 km² | 32.6% |
| 80 m | 1,037 km² | 46.9% |
| 120 m | 1,432 km² | 64.8% |
| 200 m | 1,927 km² | 87.2% |
| 500 m | 2,211 km² | 100% |
| 1,000 m | 2,211 km² | 100% |

Frequently asked questions
How deep is the Wager Bay?
On average about 101 m in the GEBCO grid (the middle value is 87 m). The deepest cell inside its outline is 439 m, at 65.50° N, 89.29° W.
How big is the Wager Bay?
About 2,211 km² of water inside its Natural Earth outline, counted from the grid cells that are below sea level.
How much of the Wager Bay would be land if sea level dropped?
With the sea 10 m lower, about 164 km² (7.4%) 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.
