===Foxe-Baffin ice dome === The Foxe-Baffin ice dome was circular and centered over the [[Foxe Basin]]. A major divide across the basin, created a westward flow across the [[Melville Peninsula]], from an eastward flow over [[Baffin Island]] and [[Southampton Island]]. Across southern Baffin Island, two divides created four additional lobes. The Penny Ice Divide split the [[Cumberland Peninsula]], where [[Pangnirtung]] created flow toward Home Bay on the north and Cumberland Sound on the south. The Amadjuak Ice Divide on the [[Hall Peninsula]], where [[Iqaluit]] sits created a north flow into [[Cumberland Sound]] and a south flow into the [[Hudson Strait]]. A secondary Hall Ice Divide formed a link to a local ice cap on the [[Hall Peninsula]]. The current ice caps on Baffin Island are thought to be a remnant from this time period, but it was not a part of the Baffin ice flow, but an autonomous flow.<ref name=Dyke1987/>
