BEYOND THE TREES: A Journey Alone Across Canada's Arctic

Shoalts had hacked his way through jungles, stared down bears, and climbed mountains. But one spot on the map called out to him. Cutting through the forbidding landscape of the Hudson Bay Lowlands is a river no hunter, no explorer, has left any record of paddling. It was this river that Shoalts was obsessively determined to explore. 16 pages of color photos.
