From May 1977 until August 1979, Halsey backpacked from Vancouver to the mouth of the St. Lawrence River; photographer Peter Souchuk and a coyote-dog named Ki joined him for the latter part of the expedition. ``Halsey's restless passion for adventure led him to tackle every danger the wilderness had to offer--hazardous rapids and ice floes, treacherous mountain ridges and perilously freezing weather--and he recorded all in vivid detail,'' said PW.
