Frobisher Bay is an inlet of the Davis Strait in Nunavut, Canada. It is located in the southeastern corner of Baffin Island. The capital of Nunavut, Iqaluit, known as Frobisher Bay from 1942 to 1987, lies near the innermost end of the bay. The first Church of England service recorded on North American soil was in Iqaluit in 1578. Iqaluit gets significantly colder in its winter than the South Georgia Islands in “Wee Pot Stove” get in the southern winter, with highs below 10øF for four months of the year.

Chorus: Cold is the Arctic sea Far are your arms from me Long will this winter be Frozen in Frobisher Bay Frozen in Frobisher Bay “One more whale,” our captain cried “One more whale and we’ll beat the ice.” But the winter star was in the sky The seas were rough, the winds were high Deep were the crashing waves That tore our whalers mast away Dark are these sunless days Waiting for the ice to break Strange is a whaler’s fate To be saved from the raging waves Only to waste away Frozen in this lonely grave
