New Discoveries in 2026

We have discovered some really amazing new things in 2026.

Visiting our old settlement site on Egenolf Lake which is part of our regular Sub-Arctic tour, Gangler’s naturalist guide Ryan Yaskiw explored a little further on the island and found the distinctive remains of an old canoe. It had been covered over by decades of vegetation, abandoned to the wilds of Northern Manitoba. Judging by the hardware on the canoe and researching Google, we believe the canoe may be over 100 years old. An amazing find which leaves us to wonder what other relics are hidden in the moss and underbrush. To be continued……

Walking in Nunavut on the Robertson Esker

We also ventured further into Nunavut, tracing the Northern path of the famous Robertson esker, and found a portion that is an outstanding outlay, with several large bluffs and a small pond nestled in the top of it. A perfect place for ancient hunters. Our head biologist Dr. Brian Kotak led the first expedition on it and within an hour had discovered a large spearpoint, probably dating back a 1000 years or better. For those not familiar with the Robertson, it is probably the most famous esker in North America, stretching from the southern part of our territory over 180 miles North, extending over the 60th parallel and into Nunavut.

We believe our guests were the first ever ‘modern’ explorers to walk the top of this impressive esker.
