On more than 200 km, the Labradorian coast is cut by deep
fjords.
In the Torngat Mountains, there are more than a dozen
waterfalls exceeding 300 meters in height. Some literally
shoot out over high rock wall faces and others fall straight
down, gently meeting their ends like angels’ hair, while still
others cascade across glorious arches of rock.

Keep in Mind
The flight from your area to Rapid Lake can be done by connecting with other aircraft. Aviation
fuel service is available upon request. The Torngat Mountains are an “extreme” destination
that is an intensely incredible experience for visitors. Nevertheless, the truly arctic climate of
this region is still a determining factor for the smooth running of all tourist trips. Bushland flights
are often subject to last-minute changes, depending on weather conditions, in which case the
itinerary will be adapted to the best possible alternative. 2% discount for payment by cheque.
Bring your tent and live the authentic
experience to spend a night in the heart of
the Arctic tunda. Early in July observe the
white night phenomena, in August watch the
magnificent Northern Lights …

from Germany to evangelise the Inuits in the 1800s.
