The Hudson Seaway was made up of mostly the present-day Hudson Bay some 75 million years ago. Along with the Western Interior Seaway, the Hudson Seaway split the western and eastern parts of modern-day North America, Laramidia and Appalachia, respectively. Greenland was separated by the foundered rift that created the Labrador Seaway.
Famous quotes containing the word hudson:
“He hung out of the window a long while looking up and down the street. The world’s second metropolis. In the brick houses and the dingy lamplight and the voices of a group of boys kidding and quarreling on the steps of a house opposite, in the regular firm tread of a policeman, he felt a marching like soldiers, like a sidewheeler going up the Hudson under the Palisades, like an election parade, through long streets towards something tall white full of colonnades and stately. Metropolis.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
