THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
In 1843, Augustus Richard Peers made his way across historic Portage La Loche, north of Ile-a-la-Crosse. This ridge of land separates the waters that flow north via the #Athabasca River and the Mackenzie, from those that flow south and east to Hudson Bay via the Churchill River. Hudson Bay is considered to be part of the Atlantic Ocean, of course. #ThreeJourneysNorth #Journeys #Saskatchewan https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/portage-la-loche-2/ -
