For Some Reason That Scientists Even Cannot Yet Explain, There is Less Gravity in Hudson Bay in Canada Than Anywhere Else on the Planet

This was quite fascinating to learn about. Who knew that in part of Canada, there is actually less gravity than there should be? 

That's right. It sounds incredible, and it has perplexed scientists now for decades. Yet it is true/ In a part of Canada, right by James Bay, there is actually less gravity. So you weigh less there than you would elsewhere, which almost feels like a selling point for tourism these days, doesn't it? 

In any case, this evidently is real. Also, it was just fascinating. If you, like me, find yourself interested enough to explore such bizarre facts and why they apparently are true, take a look at some of these links to articles below for further explanations in greater detail. Enjoy:
