For years, scientists have known that compared with the rest of the world, Canada is a low-gravity area – although nowhere close to the zero-G phenomenon of space travel – but now, researchers have discovered that this country’s peculiar gravitational field is even more pronounced in two northerly regions.
While most of this country was blanketed by 3.2 kilometres of ice and snow 20,000 years ago (which is more than likely the culprit for Canada’s overall low pull of gravity), two areas on either side of Hudson Bay, each covering land up to half the size of Quebec, were buried under an additional 500 metres of ancient ice.
