Gravity Anomaly in Hudson Bay Causes Weight Difference in Canada

The Hudson Bay region in Canada has a gravity anomaly, causing people to weigh slightly less than they do anywhere else in the world. The anomaly is caused by missing mass, likely due to events during the last Ice Age, and activity well below the Earth's surface, such as the rising and falling of magma creating convection currents that can drag down continental plates.
