Canadian Shield - Regional extent
Other than the Greenland section, the Shield is approximately circular, with Hudson Bay in the middle. It covers much of Greenland; Labrador; most of Quebec north of the St. Lawrence River; much of Ontario outside the southern peninsula between the Great Lakes; the Adirondack Mountains of northern New York; parts of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota; the central portion of Manitoba away from Hudson Bay and the Great Plains; northern Saskatchewan; a small portion of north-eastern Alberta; and the mainland northern Canadian territories to the east of a line extended north from the Saskatchewan/Alberta border (Northwest Territories and Nunavut). In total it covers approximately 8 million square kilometers.
The underlying rock structure does include Hudson Bay and the submerged area between North America and Greenland, but by some definitions may not be part of the Shield due to not being on the surface.
