The Bathurst Inlet if sea level dropped
The slider on the map lowers the sea in steps. This table shows how much of the Bathurst Inlet's water would be land at each step.

|---|---|---|
| 10 m | 348 km² | 29.9% |
| 20 m | 422 km² | 36.2% |
| 50 m | 613 km² | 52.7% |
| 80 m | 734 km² | 63% |
| 120 m | 856 km² | 73.5% |
| 200 m | 1,056 km² | 90.7% |
| 500 m | 1,164 km² | 100% |
| 1,000 m | 1,164 km² | 100% |
| 2,000 m | 1,164 km² | 100% |
| 3,000 m | 1,164 km² | 100% |
| 4,000 m | 1,164 km² | 100% |
| 6,000 m | 1,164 km² | 100% |
A simple bathtub model: it lowers the sea everywhere by the same amount and does not simulate how water would really drain.

Frequently asked questions
How deep is the Bathurst Inlet?
On average about 75 m in the GEBCO grid (the middle value is 45 m). The deepest cell inside its outline is 337 m, at 67.52° N, 107.79° W.
How big is the Bathurst Inlet?
About 1,164 km² of water inside its Natural Earth outline, counted from the grid cells that are below sea level.
How much of the Bathurst Inlet would be land if sea level dropped?
With the sea 10 m lower, about 348 km² (29.9%) 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.
