Seven trekkers covered the 385 miles from Quebec to an Inuit Village on Ungava Bay.
FARMINGTON – “Ungava Winter,” about a snowshoe journey in the wilderness of Northern Quebec, will be presented in a slide-show program at the University of Maine at Farmington.
The program is at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 19, at Thomas Auditorium in Ricker Hall.
In February, Maine guides and photographers Garrett and Alexandra Conover, Western Maine Audubon board member Bob Kimber and four other winter trekkers set out to snowshoe the 385 miles from Schefferville, Quebec, to the Inuit village of Kangiqsualjjuaq on Ungava Bay.
Garrett Conover will chronicle this two-month journey that began at the headwater lakes of the De Pas River just north of Schefferville, followed the De Pas to its confluence with the George River, and then continued down the George to the sea.
The public is welcome.
The program is free, sponsored by the Western Maine Audubon Society, the Department of Community Health and Recreation and the University of Maine at Farmington.
