A film record of a topographical survey expedition in the Ungava region of Québec-Labrador, undertaken in winter because of greater ease of travel over frozen terrain. Although motorized and served by a bush plane, the expedition still had to contend with bitter cold and arduous travel. This film describes life on the trail for the four-man team.
