An inlet of the Atlantic Ocean on the east coast of Canada. It is surrounded by the islands of Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and the Canadian mainland, and the St. Lawrence River flows into it. There are large islands such as Prince Edward and Anticosti in the bay, and glacial landforms can be seen everywhere along the coast. Between December and April, it is covered with drift ice, making navigation almost impossible. In 1534, the Frenchman J. Cartier was the first white person to reach this bay, and the day of his exploration fell on the Feast Day of St. Lawrence, so the local name was given to it.

カナダ東岸の大西洋の湾入。ニューファンドランド島,ノバ・スコシア半島とカナダ本土とに囲まれ,セント・ローレンス川が注ぐ。湾内にプリンス・エドワード,アンティコスティなどの大きな島があり,沿岸部には氷食地形がいたるところに見られる。12~4月の間は流氷でおおわれ,船の航行はほとんど不可能となる。1534年フランス人J.カルティエが白人では初めてこの湾に至り,探検の日が〈聖ローレンスの祭日〉にあたったため,現地名がつけられた。
