Show detail Hide detail

The record of a canoe expedition by four scientists, including Jean Michéa, anthropologist, Dr. De la Rue, geologist, Pierre Gadbois, geographer and Jacques Rousseau, expedition leader, and four Indian (Indigenous) guides and expert canoeists from the Sept-îles, Québec, into the unmapped wilderness of the Ungava Peninsula (Nunavik, Québec). The journey takes them from Montreal to Goose Bay and then onto Chimo, by Dakota aircraft. A Canso float plane takes them to Puvirnituq at the mouth of the Povungnituk River, where they begin their 10 day, 325 mile canoe excursion. Crossing this territory in large 19 foot canoes and one kayak to Payne Lake and onto their final destination of Kangirsuk (formerly known as Payne Bay), they collect Arctic flora and rock specimens, take readings of soil temperature, and record the correct bearings for rivers and lakes en route. Of note are the following scenes: Inuit visiting expedition by kayak bringing a half-dozen ducks and a sack of potatoes; fishing for trout; Dr. Rousseau collecting flora specimens including Arctic cotton, Arctic fireweed and Arctic buttercup, and placing them in layers of blotting paper and then pressed; Pierre Gadbois using a portable sextant to read bearings; expedition members swarmed by Arctic mosquitoes; Jean Michéa discovering an ancient Thule site; expedition members greeted by the community of Kangirsuk (formelry known as Payne Bay) with a celebration of dancing and accordion music. <20mn>
