| Description: | The sketch shows two out-buildings, not the main “squarish” station, which was closed when the artist visited. Of the walk he noted that "another British member of the party, John Robertson, then in his sixties, joined me on the long 10km walk east to the famous Canadian Wildlife Services Research Station. The route was wet, with much perma-frost “sludge”. The trip took 9 hours there and back." |
