In 2004 Nigel Foster and Kristin Nelson set off into Hudson Strait on a journey that would take them northeast around Ungava Bay to the northern tip of Labrador, then south along the Labrador coast to the settlement of Nain. they expected the forty-foot tidal range in Ungava Bay, squalling winds from the mountains of Labrador, and the fog recorded one day out of two around the entrance to Hudson Strait. They expected to be alone. There are no inhabitants along the 650 mile route, so they carried 5-weeks supply of food. What they did not so much expect, and what made their trip most memorable were numerous encounters with polar bears.
