Canoe camping and mountain hiking in the kuururjuaq park
Published: 2012-05-08
From the highest continental summit east of the Rockies up to the Ungava Bay by way of the Koroc’s Qurlutuq waterfalls, the new Kuururjuaq park in Nunavik is a wild and spectacular destination. In the heart of this immense Arctic region we find the famous Mount D’Iberville / Caubvick and the magnificent Koroc river canyon. The traveler in search of mountain climbing, hiking, exploration, canoe camping and wide open spaces have here all the natural wonders that you could find in a park.

Published: 2012-02-29
Mr. Philip Carter, from New York, NY, USA shares with us two superb photos of Aurora Borealis that he took at the Barnoin River Lodge.
Written by Philip Carter
I had to wait until well past 11 PM in order for the sun to go down and capture this shot. It was 30 second at F1.4. Right after this, one of the fuel drums flexed in the cold (it was mid 30’s at the time) and I was scared out of my wits as I thought it was a polar bear and I was out there all alone. Everyone had long gone to sleep. This was in early August, 2011.

Published: 2012-01-30
An interesting question...! "What is the best period to make a trip to the Torngat Mountains and to climb Mount D’Iberville?" The ideal time to visit the Torngat Mountains national park is anytime between July 10th and August 20th. If you plan to anticipate this date you risk of arriving in full period of thaw and not being able to go where you want. On the other hand, if you visit the region after August 20th you risk of having some fresh snow on the summits. A late trip also add the possibly to experience the low level Jet Stream (wind from 70 km/h to sometimes 160 km/h). So, the best period to visit Northern Labrador is to stay within the mentioned period. You will then have the opportunity to take advantage of long sunny days and the mildest temperatures, without the problems of the weather extremes often encountered at the beginning and at the end of season.
