Explorations in the Far North

T Birds EXPLORATIONS I N THE FAR NORTH B Y FRANK RUSSELL BEING THE REPORT OF AN EXPEDITION UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA DURING THE YEARS 1892, '93, AND '94 e^H PUBLISHED BY THE UNIVERSITY/f ^THSONI^V MAY 1 5 1987 COPYRIGHT, 1898, By Wm. J. Haddock, .Secretary of the Board of Regents of the State University of Iowa, for the STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA. PREFACE EARLY in 1891, Professor Arthur G. Smith and the writer planned to undertake a journey, during the summer months, to the northern shores of Lake Winnipeg, Manitoba, for the purpose of collecting ornithological specimens. Just before our departure in June, we were joined by Professor C. C. Nutting, who, eminently fitted by his experience as a naturalist, became the leader of the expedition, which was thereafter conducted in the interests of the Museum of the State University of Iowa. During the summer two stations were occupied; the first, near Lake Winnipeg, at the Grand Rapids of the Saskatchewan River; the second, sixty miles above, where the River debouches into Cedar Lake. The results of our explorations have been embodied in a report by Professor Nutting. 1 While at the mouth of the Saskatchewan I met Mr. R. Mac- Farlane, the ornithologist, who, during a residence in the Fur Country of nearly half a century, had made extensive and very valuable collections of natural history specimens. His enthusiastic descriptions of the field, as yet almost unex- plored, roused in me a strong desire to visit the Far North.

Rabaska / Voyager Canoe Racing Returns to the Ausable Canoe Marathon
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Grayling, Michigan - July 18, 2017 FOR MORE INFORMATION, CONTACT: Steve Southard (989) 390-6274 [email protected] Rabaska / Voyager Canoe Racing Returns to the AuSable Canoe Marathon Racing action in Mio, Michigan July 29 and Five-Channels Dam to Oscoda July 30 Editor Note – Photos to accompany this release and other media resources can be down-loaded at AuSable Marathon Google Drive http://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bxvlk0oi7oiuTTdHSzNFNm5INkU For the second consecutive year, the exciting racing of big voyager canoes with multiple-person teams is taking place in conjunction with the AuSable River Canoe Marathon, July 29-30. Voyager canoes, known in Quebec as Rabaskas, are “freighter canoes” - 25 feet long and 4 feet wide – and were originally utilized in the upper Great Lakes region by traders and settlers as early as the 1600’s. For more than 30 years, Rabaska racing has been a fixture on the St-Maurice River in Quebec, the setting for la Classique Internationale de canots de la Mauricie – The Classic – the third stage of the Triple Crown of Canoe Racing. In the early 1990’s, Rabaska racing was integrated into the festivities of la Classique, which is staged over the three-day Labor Day weekend in September and has been a fan favorite ever since. Nowadays, Rabaska canoes have evolved to be more adapted to racing. They are made of light carbon fiber and its shape above water level changed to become more aerodynamic. Despite their big size, Rabaska canoes can move as fast as the C-2 pro canoes in deep water.

We can find an impressive variety of landscapes: hanging valleys alongside glacial formations, white waters succeeding to still waters and falls and cascades tumbling down the rocky walls. Steep slopes, beautiful surroundings, and the unusual course of Malbaie River make this an exceptional site. Discover the valley by riverboat, canoeing, kayaking, rabaska canoeing, cycling or hiking.
