Show detail Hide detail

An account of the Royal Canadian Navy's 68-day scientific expedition through the Northwest Passage from Halifax to Esquimalt. The expedition leaves Halifax on July 23, 1954, on board HMCS (Her Majesty's Canadian Ship) "Labrador", to conduct scientific studies including oceanography, hydrography, meteorology, terrestrial magnetism, and cosmic rays. Of special interest on board are ten civilian scientists and an Eskimo (Inuit) Special Constable Ariak, the latter of which is being dropped-off at an RCMP post at Alexander Fiord. Noteworthy footage includes: water temperature testing, ice pack reduction, and sound depth experiments; aerial shots of ice packs at Craig Harbour; a look at D.C. Rhodes, chief scientist with the National Research Council; the rescue of a small vessel carrying American scientists; the "Labrador" commissioning ceremony at Sorel, Quebec; Constable Ariak feeding his dogs and his family receiving medical check-ups; the arrival and unloading of an RCN landing craft at Alexander Fiord; an excellent sequence of a walrus colony on channel ice and views of a polar bear on an ice pack; at Beachy Island, a monument to perished Arctic explorers; and the meeting of HSN and HS Coast Guard ships at Banks Island for the joint Canadian--American Beaufort Seas Expedition. <23mn>
