Welcome to James Bay Road.
It is Hungry Travellers' trip to an Inuit/Cree settlement in Northern Quebec. This is a trip along James Bay highway, a 600 km road with only 1 gas station on it. It is a road that connects a mining town, Matagami at the South end of the highway with Radisson in the North, a town built to accommodate workers of the massive hydro-electric dams built around Radisson.
Our destination is not only the town of Radisson, the northernmost French settlement in Eastern Canada located at the end of the highway, but also Le Grand Riviere Airport that connects the South with Inuit settlements in the Northern Quebec and beyond. It is not only a connection between the South and the North, but it also serves as an emergency landing airport for commercial airliners due to its location and the size.
In part 2, we will be flying out of this airport to Cree/Inuit settlement, Kuujjuaraapik, located on Hudson bay.
