Two brothers journey through the mountains, glaciers, rivers, and meadows of the land now known as Tongait KakKasuangita SilakKijapvinga, the Torngat Mountains National Park, northern Labrador. In the Shadow of Tungusuak is a rare, true story of travel inland from Nunatsiavut’s famous coastal fjords.

“Buckley laces together a narrative that flows like a braided river across the wild landscape of northern Labrador. Among loving descriptions of the austerely beautiful and singularly lonely Torngat Mountains are moments of struggle, humor, and fraternal tenderness, and a lingering sadness over our collective inability to let truly wild places just be.”

—Anders Morley, author of This Land of Snow

“This is the best kind of adventure story, where the internal is mapped against the external, and neither journey is without peril.”

—Joseph Monninger, author of Eternal on the Water
