The Bay of Fundy (French: Baie de Fundy) is a bay located on the Atlantic coast of North America, on the northeast end of the Gulf of Maine between the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, with a small portion touching the U.S. state of Maine. The Bay of Fundy is known for having the greatest difference in water level between its high and low tides in the world. Fundy is a 270km (170 mile long) ocean bay that each day flows 100 billion tons of seawater in and out of the Bay of Fundy during one tide cycle; more than the combined flow of the world's freshwater rivers. The name "Fundy" is thought to date back to the 16th century when the Portuguese referred to the bay as "Rio Fundo" or "deep river".
The bay was also named Baie François by explorer/cartographer Samuel de Champlain during a 1604 expedition led by Pierre Dugua, Sieur de Monts which resulted in a failed settlement attempt on St. Croix Island. The exhibit will present inkjet photographs generated from digital film scans of the bay side communities and wildlife from Eastport, Maine to Cape Sable, Nova Scotia.
