This remote and icy bay is home to polar bears, seals, a species of dwarf penquins and the occasional whale. It is named for the snowhawks which can be found in large numbers here, hunting winter hares and other small polar mammals. Several Tomarin villages can be found amongst the cluster of islands at the south end of the bay.
