Most people discover waterfalls by following signposts and tourist maps.
Not Modern Adam Shortz.
In last August, with Indiana Jones hat and matching curiosity, he explored some places on his own that he had never tried before.
Travel in waters near James Bay.
It was cold and rainy, and as he paddled downstream of the Ontario River, Shoalts trembled in the canoe, a waterway winding along Ontario --Quebec border.
The river appears on a topographic map made of 1950 seconds of aerial photos.
Take a closer look at these maps, and from time to time, there are tiny hash marks that break the river line.
These photos show some white water found on aerial photos. Shoalts, a 27-year-
Old Mike master University doctoral student named St.
Catherine's House, to be discovered-the hard way.
After a week of "nightmarish harbor crossing the indestructible forest and black flies --
Infested Swamp, I thought I finally got to the simplest place to explore, along this river that no one had ever paddled before, nothing I could not handle, in an interview with his restaurant, Shortz said the table was covered with old maps.
He recalled that he was also wet and impatient on the wet day of last August.
He told a good story.
"So the river is recovering, it is getting deeper and the Rapids are getting bigger and bigger.
It got a little wider.
Next, what I know is that I can hear this ominous roar, a loud roar, a roar of water that puts fear in your heart.
"I think, 'Wow, it's a huge fast.
A few seconds later, I think, where is this river?
"It took me a little time to digest the fact that I found a waterfall and I was very excited about it.
It's a nice discovery, waterfall.
But I think, 'Oh, my God, I think I'm going to be swept by it.
"It's too powerful now to support --paddle.
The river bank is nearby.
Vertical granite, slide down from the rain.
Nothing to hang up.
The canoe, loaded with equipment and food, went straight to the drop.
At the last minute, a stream of water popped from the side of the canoe.
The shoes fell off the side and took six. metre plunge.
"I hit the water at the bottom and I was sucked down and it was just below, which was very shocking.
I remember clearly in my mind, "I survived the dive, it was great.
And thought, 'Why didn't I come back to the surface? '
"In the end, he did it," breathing life --
A big mouth of air
I can see the corner of my left eye and my canoe is leaning to one side in a whirlpool, upside down, just swinging there.
I saw the hull of the canoe pressed in.
"Since he was recently able to recall the story from the safety of his home, you will know that he survived and should know that he was able to recover most of his equipment and food and repair his canoe with tape
"There is a moment of 'red Green "-
Finish his route.
If everything goes well since that interview, by Sunday, Shortz will be somewhere in the swamp, dragging the canoe to the source of the river again --again.
He has already set off and re-tracked his route, this time he correctly filmed and recorded the falls and the other six he found (
In a safer way)down stream. The 400-
It includes five rivers, dozens of ports and a sailing boat that can be harrowing for 55 kilometers.
The kilometer open water paddle in James Bay is sponsored by the Royal Canadian Geography Society, which aims to teach Canadians and others around the world more about Canada.
In addition to learning and traveling, Shoalts also writes and talks publicly about his adventures.
Shoalts recently learned that geologists from the Quebec government entered the lower reaches of the Again River in early 1960 and encountered a lower waterfall.
But, as far as he knows, he is the only one who has traveled through the whole river and found other waterfalls, including the highest waterfall he has ever had up from the river.
For most of the three weeks, Shoalts will not be fully known at any given moment, and he expects he will need to reach the end of Moosonee.
He intends to check in by satellite phone at a convenient time.
If possible, an update will appear on his website.
As news of the trip went beyond the local newspaper and was reported by The Guardian and the BBC, he got a lot of questions: why bother?
This is all about changing the map.
"Outdoor Sports have always been one of the shoe stores.
As a student, he worked in the Ontario Department of Natural Resources and, at the age of 18, had his first serious adventure with a friend at the Otto coven River.
Recently, the short people traveled alone, but not their own choice.
It just happened after another of his past Adventure partners resigned on 2011 trips and vowed never to go wild again.
This left him alone, and he was determined to complete the journey, which was also sponsored by the geography society.
The trip was to another area in the Hudson Bay low, during which the short man explored an unnamed river, which he later submitted to the Ontario geographical names Commission, a river called the Little Owl River, because one day an owl flew overhead.
"The coolest thing about the area is that you can see a few big rivers;
But the reality is that there may be more than 10,000 waterways in this area alone, "Shortz said.
"There are too many rivers.
We don't know as much about the world as we think.
I can do this little place for the rest of my life, it's still like a drop of water in the bucket.
This is his plan.
Although he has explored the tributaries of the Amazon River, his focus is on Canada, especially in the Hudson Bay area.
Shoalts was inspired by early European and indigenous explorers.
His field of academic expertise is the history of early explorers engaging with indigenous peoples.
This has well consolidated his interest in anthropology, geography and archaeology.
The walls of his house are covered with old adventure maps.
The set in the restaurant starts with the route of Samuel de Champlain and is big with the others over time-name explorers.
Most of them stick to the main rivers, which are traffic and trade routes.
By contrast, the places where Shoalts go are obviously not very accessible and there is a lot more work to be done.
Then there are bugs.
"My favorite fact is that the Hudson Bay Low has the most concentrated blood-sucking insects in the world," Shortz said . ".
"When you see it from the air, it is more water than the land.
It is just an endless pond and lake. every pond and Lake has wonderful breeding grounds for mosquitoes and black flies.
"This brings us back to the problem with this partner.
Shortz has many travel companions, all of whom grew up with him and were familiar with him.
In order to be able to spend so much time together under difficult conditions, you have to get along.
There is no portage path other than the path that Shoalts cut themselves.
There are no majestic mountains to watch.
Canoes are often dragged into the water.
Most of the partners went on a trip with him and would never travel again.
On his 2011 trip, 11 days after his partner dragged the canoe on the river, he struggled with low body temperature, withdrew from the race and flew out by seaplane.
Shoalts completed the trip on his own and learned that he could go on his own.
"I never wanted to explore alone.
If you slip on a rock and hit your head, you won't be able.
This is almost the end.
I don't want to, but I find myself in a situation where I have no choice. It went well. I succeeded.
"He doesn't have to worry about taking care of others either.
"I need a 110 loyal person who will keep their morale high no matter how bad it is outside.
I have to focus on my work.
I can't focus on acting as a psychologist trying to get each other motivated every day.
"I'm not going to continue exploring alone.
Because you are doing it alone, everything is twice as difficult.
I remember saying to myself last year after I was swept across the waterfall, never again.
But after 12 months we are here and I am about to start one.
"Shoalts does have another stable partner, but he hasn't been able to get back to the river again.
This time, the shoemaker was wearing a helmet.
He will also use his engineer dad Mark to install the height of the rifle telescope for careful measurements, including the exact location and height of the waterfall.
The height can be measured from a safe distance using a triangle.
Most of his equipment was provided by the outdoor St.
St. Catherine's sporting goods store.
Considering the number of transplants, he travels as easily as possible.
The food includes instant porridge for breakfast.
A hot lunch was untouched and replaced with beef jerky, granola sticks and dried fruit.
For dinner, it was dehydrated lasagna, and in boiling water it regained its fullness.
He will also fish for Pike and Picknell and can make a meal with fresh water clams, roots and wild berries.
For water, there is a hand on the shoe
Water Pump water purifier.
Anything that needs to be heated is cooked on firewood.
This guy has no stove.
For entertainment, he brought a book, usually a narrative of an adventure novel or an early exploration.
One day, he wanted to write a book about the Hudson Bay Lowlands himself, including exploring history and his own exploring history.
Shortz described last year's trip to the river again as "a simple endurance test ".
It is a struggle to do things well.
You don't know how many ports it will take and how long it will take.
"So it's like a reconnaissance.
Complete the journey, survive the journey, and then come back to do the real work of shooting, measuring, recording latitude and longitude.
"When he comes back from River, Shoalts wants to get what he needs and add all the new details to the River map.
This is the "why" part. again.
"I compare this song to the bear climbing up the mountain to see what he can see," he said . ".
"I just wanted to know what was near the next bend on the other side of the mountain or by the river.
"If you're really lucky, you might even find a new terrain discovery like a waterfall and change the map.
This is the driving force for me.
