Arctic expedition aims to study Hudson Straits feasibility
The Telegraph notes Lieutenant Gordon’s upcoming Canadian backed voyage seeks meteorological stations in the Hudson Straits area and to test navigability as a summer outlet for Northwest produce. Proponents cite milder northern climates due to the Rocky Mountain altitudes allowing Pacific breezes to ease climate and growth across British North America, predicting population growth and faster river commerce as the Northwest develops with immigration.
