Lure of the Labrador Wire
In addition to the main transmission
One option runs north of Goose Bay, and would be strung across the Rapids which connect Little Lake to Grand Lake. This view may be familiar to some as the background image in the photo-art of the snowmobilers and northern lights on the NewfoundlandLabrador (ugh) tourism web site. (The photo-art is a composite; the cliff the snowmobilers are on doesn't exist, at least not anywhere that has that view.) It would continue along the north side of the Bay, past Mokami, with a terminus in the vicinity of Northwest Islands; just short, in fact, of Labrador Inuit Lands near Mulligan.
The southern electrode routing identified by NALCO(R) crosses to the south side of the river, skirts Mud Lake, and then penetrates, deeply, into the study area (dashed line) for the proposed Mealy Mountains National Park. The southern routing crosses the Kenamu River valley and terminates not far from the foot of the mountains themselves.
