Synopsis:
Excerpt from Two Traverses Across Ungava Peninsula, Labrador
The lake's length, as I have mentioned, was found to be approximately 115 miles. The elevation of the surrounding country does not exceed a maximum of 400 feet, the average being 100 to 150 feet. Trees occur only at. Widely separated points, often from three to five miles apart, and never grow thickly enough to afford the slightest wind' shelter. As the general map on Plate VII shows, the northern shore is at the tree limit. No rock formations other than gneisses and granites were noted.
At one point along the shore we camped near an old tepee frame, erected apparently many years before. The Indians, from their tree country to the south, used to make hunting excursions into this country in summer, in the olden days of the caribou migrations. Nor were their excursions altogether for caribou; they also made raids on the defenseless Eskimos,7 who, attracted like themselves by the prospect of deer, ascended the Leaf River from Ungava Bay in kayaks.
