Description

In 1882 the Smithsonian Institution Arctic scientist, Lucien McShan Turner, traveled to the Ungava District that encompasses Northern Quebec and Labrador.
There he spent 20 months as part of a mission to record meteorological data for an International Polar Year research program.
Presented here is the natural history material that Lucien M.
Turner wrote on mammals of the Ungava and Labrador regions.
His writings provide a glimpse of the habits and types of mammals that roamed Ungava 125 years ago in what was an unknown frontier to non-Inuit and non-Innu people.
