In 1903 the geologist A. P. Low sailed the steamer Neptune into Hudson Bay to assert Canadian authority in the north. His report describes the voyage, the winter in quarters at Fullerton beside American whalers, the summer cruise of 1904 through the Arctic islands, a history of earlier exploration and long chapters on Inuit life and games.
A valuable early record of the Canadian Arctic and its people, for readers of polar travel and northern history. Download the free EPUB.
