Excerpts from Richard Harrington's diary of his Padlei trip, January-April 1950, which has not been published. Padlei is a former community in Nunavut, once the site of a Hudson's Bay trading post. Harrington's disturbing words portray a world of cold and misery, and many of his accompanying photographs are not for the faint of heart.
