River Delta Islands
A maze of silt-formed islands including Sinclair Island, showcasing the river's sedimentary power.
James Bay Horizon
The transition where the river's fresh water meets the salty, shallow waters of the massive bay.
Coastal Mudflats
Extensive tidal flats that create intricate, vein-like patterns on the landscape during low tide.
Seasonal Sea Ice
During winter and spring months, witness the dramatic pack ice and pressure ridges forming on the bay.
This is the side for coastal scenery. In the autumn, keep an eye out for migrating snow geese along the shorelines. Because the flight is exceptionally short (often under 10 minutes), have your camera ready immediately upon takeoff.
