Severn Estuary

[edit]

According to the article on the "Severn bore" (a upstream wave in England's River Severn caused by rising tides), the Severn Estuary may or may not have the world's second-largest tidal range after Canada's Bay of Fundy. The dispute revolves around whether Ungava Bay has a higher range than both, leaving the Severn Estuary in third place - but Ungava Bay may itself in fact be in third place. So it is inconsistent to say it has the first or second-biggest tidal range. I've put a similar comment on the "Severn bore" talk page.213.127.210.95 (talk) 18:13, 2 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

I've referenced an article which reckons that parts of the bay exhibit the second highest tidal range in the world, after Bay of Fundy and putting Bristol Channel (inlcuding the Severn estuary) into third place. Geopersona (talk) 16:48, 29 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

In Nunavut or Quebec?

[edit]

The bay is described in the lede as being in Nunavut but elsewhere it is described as being in Quebec, specifically the Nunavik sector - which is it? The map attachged to the treaty which established Nunavut does not appear to contain Ungava Bay. Geopersona (talk) 16:14, 29 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
