• Here we meet up with local expert on Inuit and spend some time at his home for a slides show on the Native peoples of Labrador. Visit fantastic galley with Inuit artifacts and artwork.

• After lunch we will head out for a trail ride. This trail is heavy on rock and presents some fantastic scenery at its end---some good technical locker type stuff here---bypasses too. Along the way to the trail we will stop at the Interpretation Center‘s museum that covers much of the history of the various cultures and peoples of Labrador.

• Leisurely dinner at the campsite ---Caribou stew and Moose burgers?

Day 7 --Building a Building or two, overnight ship to Cartwright.

• OEX has arranged a day of charity where we will help build two cabins for the local Community Youth Summer Camp. Here is our chance to make a true Expedition out of our trip---to make a difference! Our combined efforts should allow us to take down and re-build two old log cabins and supply them with electricity and water.

• Board the M/V Sir Robert Bond. We cruise Lake Melville, East Northeast, by the Mealy Mountains and pass through the straits by Rigotet. This cruise is full of scenery and ice!
