Soper River
The Soper River (Inuktitut: Kuujuaq[pronunciation?], meaning "the great river") (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.) is a waterway on Baffin Island, Nunavut. The river flows over 100 km (62 mi) and then empties into Soper Lake and Pleasant Inlet. The Soper River was designated a Canadian Heritage River in 1992.[1]
Research
The Soper River region's plants have not been studied or inventoried since the 1920s.[2][3] In June 2012, four Canadian botanists, from the National Herbarium of Canada travelled to the Soper River region to assess landforms and soil types, then catalogue plants and collect samples.[2][3] The expedition was part of a five-year project to record Arctic flora and improve the taxonomy of the Arctic ecology.[4][3]
