New Book: The Thlewiaza-Seal Rivers - Challenge Of The Ice
Author Fred Nelson has been on canoe trips throughout various locations in the northern wilderness of Canada, ending in either the Arctic Ocean or Hudson Bay. He amassed a total of 4500 miles on canoe trips lasting between 11 to 36 days. This book is about one of these trips that is better described as an adventure rather than a trip…
The cold northern regions of Canada are home to the Thlewiaza River. In 1978, Fred Nelson embarked on his journey down the Thlewiaza River as recounted in the book. Nelson recounts the stories of his adventures with five other canoe enthusiasts as they embark on their journey down the Thlewiaza River to the Hudson Bay, then north to Arviat, previously known as Eskimo Point. Eighty miles of ice blocked their way after six days into the trip, so they diverted the journey over ice and snow to the Seal River, then south on Hudson Bay to Churchill. Throughout the adventure, they are faced with various tribulations in their adventures, such as difficulty maneuvering through the icy waters, dangerous rapids, encounters with local bears, and a stormy night in the bay.
