| Iceblue Tarn below Minaret Spur of Mount Caubvick Below is a description of the photograph you were looking for, and the circumstances surrounding the photo. Photographer: John Folinsbee Inserted By: David Wasserman Technical: Nikkormat FTN, 55mm microNikkor lens, Kodachrome 64 slide film, scanned on an HP 5370C scanner with transparency adapter, and cropped and adjusted with Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 Technical: Nikkormat FTN, 55mm microNikkor lens, Kodachrome 64 slide film, scanned on an HP 5370C scanner with transparency adapter, and cropped and adjusted with Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 Caption: This lake was officially named the Iceblue Tarn - for obvious reasons - three years after this photo was taken. Story: The L1 Glacier on the left and the Toth Glacier in the centre feed this fairly large tarn. The Minaret Spur is in the left foreground, and Caubvick's North Ridge is at the back. Caubvick/D'Iberville, its summit out of the picture in the upper left, is the highest point in Canada east of the Rockies, in the remote Torngat Mountains of northern Labrador and Quebec. It is the highest point in both the province of Newfoundland and Labrador and the province of Quebec. The two provinces have given it different names. John Folinsbee, currently a wildlife biologist for the Alberta government, worked in a similar role for several years in the late 1970s and early 1980s for Newfoundland and Labrador. The remoteness of the area required air access, and wildlife surveys were also done from aircraft. To see the actual photo you must be a Paid Member |
