The expedition, which began on February 1, 2023, required 15 days of biking and 53 days of skiing, for a total of 91 days including stops in communities. In total, the duo traveled nearly 2960 km on isolated roads, through taiga, coastal ice and tundra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/press-release-transboreal-return.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read the official press release<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A challenging winter cycling route<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simon-Pierre having completed the cycling portion of the expedition in the winter of 2020, Samuel set out alone on February 1, 2023, in the middle of a cold wave. Located in a wooded area along the Chateauguay River, the 720 border marker indicates the southernmost point of Quebec. The cyclist needed 15 days to complete the 1583 km route to the Cree community of Chisasibi, in James Bay, using the Billy-Diamond road (formerly the James Bay road). The main difficulty of this segment was the sometimes difficult cohabitation with motorized vehicles, in addition to the winter conditions and the isolation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"12511\" src=\"https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Transboreale_RouteBaieJames_07-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Transboreale_RouteBaieJames_07-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Transboreale_RouteBaieJames_07-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Transboreale_RouteBaieJames_07-scaled-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Transboreale_RouteBaieJames_07-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Transboreale_RouteBaieJames_07-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Transboreale_RouteBaieJames_07-75x50.jpg 75w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Transboreale_RouteBaieJames_07-650x433.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Transboreale_RouteBaieJames_07-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Transboreale_RouteBaieJames_07-50x33.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Billy-Diamond Road \/ Photo: Marie France L&#8217;Ecuyer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"12516\" src=\"https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Transboreale_RouteBaieJames_11-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Transboreale_RouteBaieJames_11-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Transboreale_RouteBaieJames_11-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Transboreale_RouteBaieJames_11-scaled-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Transboreale_RouteBaieJames_11-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Transboreale_RouteBaieJames_11-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Transboreale_RouteBaieJames_11-89x50.jpg 89w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Transboreale_RouteBaieJames_11-650x366.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Transboreale_RouteBaieJames_11-1000x563.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Transboreale_RouteBaieJames_11-50x28.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Chisasibi Road \/ Photo: Marie France L&#8217;Ecuyer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Skiing the vastness of Nunavik<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting February 19, Simon-Pierre and Samuel began a long ski trip from the Longue-Pointe in Chisasibi. Carrying in their 150-pound sleds the necessary equipment to ensure their autonomy in this region of sub-arctic and arctic conditions, the duo made six segments of 6 to 11 days between the different Cree and Inuit communities of Hudson Bay, for a total of 1377 km in 53 days. In addition to the physical and psychological challenge, they faced numerous difficulties such as winter temperatures of around -40 Celsius, high winds affecting visibility and navigation, deep snow passages, fractured ice and the presence of polar bears. Equipped with a firearm and a detonator for the night, the team only came across traces of the predator. To meet their energy needs throughout the expedition, Simon-Pierre and Samuel opted for a diet of about 6000 calories per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the skiing part of the expedition took place in the Inuit territory of Nunavik, which alone represents approximately one third of the surface of Quebec. Taking advantage of stops in the communities, the team participated in various activities, including meetings with young people in schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On April 28, 2023, the team reached Cape Anaulirvik (Wolstenholme) in the Digges Strait, about 30 km from the Inuit community of Ivujivik. This is the northernmost point of Quebec and Nunavik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"12497\" src=\"https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TB_ParcNationalTursujuq_13-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12497\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TB_ParcNationalTursujuq_13-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TB_ParcNationalTursujuq_13-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TB_ParcNationalTursujuq_13-scaled-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TB_ParcNationalTursujuq_13-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TB_ParcNationalTursujuq_13-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TB_ParcNationalTursujuq_13-75x50.jpg 75w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TB_ParcNationalTursujuq_13-650x433.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TB_ParcNationalTursujuq_13-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TB_ParcNationalTursujuq_13-50x33.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tasiujaq&nbsp;lake \/ Photo: Marie France L&#8217;Ecuyer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"12501\" src=\"https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TB_ParcNationalTursujuq_22-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TB_ParcNationalTursujuq_22-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TB_ParcNationalTursujuq_22-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TB_ParcNationalTursujuq_22-scaled-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TB_ParcNationalTursujuq_22-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TB_ParcNationalTursujuq_22-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TB_ParcNationalTursujuq_22-75x50.jpg 75w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TB_ParcNationalTursujuq_22-650x433.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TB_ParcNationalTursujuq_22-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TB_ParcNationalTursujuq_22-50x33.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tursujuq National Park \/ Photo: Marie France L&#8217;Ecuyer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A first to be placed in context<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Quebec is rich in history and stories of exploration, no one had likely connected the two ends of the territory until now. It should be remembered, however, that the current boundaries, including the upper portion of Quebec, date back to 1912 and are the result of colonialist structures. The Aboriginal and Inuit nations have travelled this territory for thousands of years in conditions much more difficult than those represented by a contemporary expedition. This premiere has therefore first and foremost a symbolic value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"12578\" src=\"https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TB_Chisasibi_Elders_01-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TB_Chisasibi_Elders_01-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TB_Chisasibi_Elders_01-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TB_Chisasibi_Elders_01-scaled-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TB_Chisasibi_Elders_01-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TB_Chisasibi_Elders_01-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TB_Chisasibi_Elders_01-75x50.jpg 75w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TB_Chisasibi_Elders_01-650x433.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TB_Chisasibi_Elders_01-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TB_Chisasibi_Elders_01-50x33.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">With the elders of Chisasibi \/ Photo: Marie France L&#8217;Ecuyer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"12576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Transboreale_EcoleIvujivik_04-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Transboreale_EcoleIvujivik_04-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Transboreale_EcoleIvujivik_04-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Transboreale_EcoleIvujivik_04-scaled-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Transboreale_EcoleIvujivik_04-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Transboreale_EcoleIvujivik_04-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Transboreale_EcoleIvujivik_04-75x50.jpg 75w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Transboreale_EcoleIvujivik_04-650x433.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Transboreale_EcoleIvujivik_04-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.samuelmarkon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Transboreale_EcoleIvujivik_04-50x33.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">With the students of Ivujivik \/ Photo: Marie France L&#8217;Ecuyer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>An adventure told in a documentary film<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On four occasions, a film crew composed of Marie France L&#8217;Ecuyer, director, Marc-Andr\u00e9 Bilodeau, director of photography, and Thibaut Quichon, sound designer, joined the members of the expedition in order to produce a documentary film.
