About This Book

An account of an exploratory expedition across interior Labrador, following a party that travels from the Atlantic coast into an uncharted inland plateau, living largely by hunting and adopting Indigenous travel methods. It combines journal-style narrative of routes, camps, weather, wildlife encounters—caribou, bears, fish—and hard conditions on a stony, mosquito-haunted plateau, with descriptive chapters on fishermen, settlers, Inuit communities, and missionary activity. Practical notes on tracking, canoeing, and fishing alternate with natural-history observations and reflections on survival strategies in a sparsely populated, predatory landscape.
