Torngats 25 - Seaweed on the Beach

Seaweed is Abundant Along the Shoreline  

Bladderwrack seaweeds are important for fish and birds...  

...and it's fun to pop the bubbles, too.   

Free-floating clumps of seaweed are common in the open water and along the shoreline in Saglek Fjord. The brown algae shelters  small organisms which are a food source for fish and birds. Humans eat it this seaweed too, it's a good source of iodine and other nutrients.  

Torngats 22 - Longliner and Cliffs

The Robert Bradford against the Cliffs of Saglek Fjord

The boat trip into the Saglek Fjord ...  

... goes through some amazing mountain scenery.   

3,000 foot high mountain cliffs dropping to sea level, a lovely clear day and a longliner to view it all from. Who could ask for more? 

   

Torngats 15 - A Matter of Scale

The Labrador Sea, the Mountains, an Iceberg and a Longliner 

The Robert Bradford and an Iceberg...  

...can you tell where and how far away they are, and which one is which?    

This part of the northern Labrador coastline appears so vast, it's hard to get a sense of scale on just how immense it all is.  

Torngats 12 - The Longliner Robert Bradford in Saglek Fjord

On Route to Hebron - 2   

On a calm warm morning, almost everyone in the Base Camp set out ...  

...to go by longliner for a trip along the coast to Hebron.    

The Torngat Mountains Base Camp uses two boats for excursions - the passenger vessel Inuttatik and the longliner Robert Bradford. Looking from the top deck of the Inuttatik, the Robert Bradford is silhouetted as it sails south-east towards Hebron.
