Ouinaniche

Part of my husband's job is as a member of a research team that does lake trout research in Northern Labrador every summer.  They fly in to really remote northern areas.  They trap lake trout for their research and the ouinaniche is a by-catch. 

Here are a couple of photos....

 

These were all taken at the Conrad Fjord in Northern Labrador.  They usually go in for a two-week excursion.  

He has brought back some awesome scenery shots, like these......

This photo was taken right from the tent site for this trip---looking east at the Conrad Fjord
