The narrower [[Nares Strait]] connects Baffin Bay with the [[Arctic Ocean]]. The bay is not navigable most of the year because of the [[Arctic ice pack|ice cover]] and high density of [[Sea ice|floating ice]] and [[iceberg]]s in the open areas. However, a [[polynya]] of about {{cvt|80000|km2}}, known as the [[North Water Polynya|North Water]], opens in summer on the north near [[Smith Sound]].<ref>[http://www.agu.org/meetings/cc02eabstracts/gratton.pdf Circulation and generation of the North Water Polynya, Northern Baffin Bay].
