Big Trout Lake Expanse
Dramatic views of the massive, island-dotted lake which is one of the largest in Northern Ontario.
Severn River Basin
Aerial perspectives of the northern tributaries that eventually feed into the historic Severn River system.
Post-Glacial Islands
Small, uninhabited islands that show unique geological features left behind by retreating glaciers thousands of years ago.
