Across the sub-Arctics of Canada

A firsthand narrative describes a lengthy canoe and snowshoe expedition across the Canadian sub-Arctic, detailing route-finding through rivers, lakes, rapids and portages alongside the logistical preparations and instruments employed. The account documents encounters and exchanges with local Indigenous peoples, observations of Arctic customs, tools and dwellings, and natural-history notes including plant collections and wildlife encounters such as polar bears. Illustrated with photographs, drawings and a route map, the work combines practical guidance on snowshoeing and dog-sled travel with vivid travel episodes and reflections on survival and navigation in treeless, frozen landscapes.
