Moosonee sounds as if it were a long, long way north. Yet a glance at the map of Canada shows that it really isn‘t.

Yet the James Bay area is really subâ€" arctic, for the lines that show the cliâ€" mate divisions of the earth behave in a peculiar mannér when they are plotted across Ontario‘s North. The cold weather lines swoop down from the MacKenzie district of Canada‘s great northwest to include the area around the mouth of the Moose. Proof of this is easily found in the fact that a family of Eskimos live on an island not far up James Bay from Moosonee.
