Synopsis

Across the Barren North follows a canoe voyage of surveying, survival, and discovery from Edmonton to Hudson Bay.

This gripping, firsthand account details a hardy expedition braving extreme weather, icy seas, and the challenges of far-north travel. From careful measurements to close calls with storms, the narrative chronicles how a small team tracked their path across vast, little-known terrain. It captures the practical work of surveying, the tension of uncertain supplies, and the pull of wild landscapes that test every decision and resolve.

  • Harsh Arctic conditions and how they shaped every decision on the water and land
  • The practical craft of field surveying—latitude, longitude, and careful voyage planning
  • Close escapes from dangerous seas, ice, and dwindling provisions
  • Character-driven moments, including leadership under pressure and team dynamics
Ideal for readers of true adventure and exploration narratives who want a ground-level view of survival and discovery in the Canadian north.
