		I've been looking into it for several years and one of the debatable issues for myself was the question of bringing a rifle or not as protection from the existing threat of polar bears in the Torngats.
		My decision is to worry about increasing my skill at mountaineering (several climbes are technical) and not worry about the wildlife - except I would love to see some of the larger species (Caribou, Wolves, etc.) in their natural habitat - something not possible in the lower 48.
		A colleague working in the Torngats in 1978 was forced to kill a fl bear that charged them at their camp; lucky that he killed the bear with one slug, because his old 303 army rifle jammed after that first shot.

	ABSTRACT: Studies on felsenmeer-covered surfaces in the Torngat Mountains, Northern Québec-Labrador.
		ABSTRACT: Studies on felsenmeer-covered surfaces in the Torngat Mountains, Northern Québec-Labrador.
		Against this background, a research program aimed at studying the nature, the spatial and vertical distribution and the chronology of the felsenmeer covered surfaces of the Torngat Mountains was begun in the summer of 1999.
		Three overall objectives have been defined for this program: 1) computer and remote sensing assisted mapping of the spatial and verticaldistribution of the felsenmeer surfaces; 2) examination of the relative weathering characteristics of the fine matrix for selected felsenmeer summits; and 3) exposure dating of stable rocksurfaces using terrestrial cosmogenic nuclides.

		The Torngat Mountains rise in the area in the northern end of the Quebec/Labrador peninsula in Canada.
		The Torngats are sort of like the Highlands plus about 1000' of elevation plus glaciers.
		Much of the time spent in establishing this park was the settlement of Inuit land claims and establishing their territories and rights in the area.

		The Torngat Mountains are more difficult to get to than most high arctic regions, yet the area is more diverse in landscapes and richer in flora and fauna.
		For the first two days, we travel by boat through spectacular landscapes - richly toned mountain slopes slashed by river valleys, magnificent coastal fjords with glistening icebergs and barren islands.
		In 2004 we guided the last of these scheduled trekking expeditions, because it is increasingly hard to find people willing to spend the time and effort to go to an area about which very little is known.
