"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."
"La préparation des cartes topographiques du ministère des Mines et Relevés techniques à Ottawa nécessite des expéditions où le courage et l'endurance sont mis à l'épreuve. Ce film retrace une expédition semblable à des milliers d'autres qui s'accompliront afin d'ouvrir au plus tôt à la civilisation les portes du Nord canadien."
