Synopsis:

Excerpt from Reports on Explorations of the Coasts of Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay

Commander Wakeham, in his report of the voyage of the Diana, enters fully into the conditions and nature of the ice of Hudson Strait. My own observations and conclusions in regard to the ice coincide with those so ably set forth by him, and, consequently, it is unnecessary to allude further to them here.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents observations of the geology and physical geography of the northern Labrador Peninsula, bordering Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay. The author spent the summer of 1897 exploring a portion of this region, which had never been systematically examined, and his work provided the first detailed account of its geography and geology. In addition to scientific observations, the author notes his experiences and interactions with indigenous communities. Observations regarding the physical environment include the description of ice conditions in Hudson Strait with particular note paid to its impact on navigation, as well as a detailed description of the physical features of the south coast of Hudson Strait. The author's geological observations provide a detailed account of the stratigraphy of the northern Labrador Peninsula and the determination that the region had been glaciated. This book will be of primary interest to geologists and geographers, but will also be useful to historians interested in the exploration of Canada and anthropologists interested in indigenous communities of the Canadian subarctic. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781527711938_0
