Seal River (Manitoba)
The Seal River is a river in the Northern Region of Manitoba, Canada. It travels from Shethanei Lake to the Hudson Bay.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Canadian Heritage Rivers System ">url= http://www.chrs.ca/Rivers/Seal/Seal-F_e.htm )〕 The river was nominated for the Canadian Heritage Rivers System in 1987 and was officially listed in 1992.
==Geography==
At a length of 260 kilometers (162 mi), the Seal River is one of the four major rivers in Northern Manitoba, and it is the northernmost and only one that contains no dams.〔 Its drainage basin is in area. The river is far removed from any human populations in the isolated wilderness. The nearest settlements are Churchill and the small Tadoule Lake. Churchill is about south of the mouth of the river along the Hudson Bay, while Tadoule Lake is far inland near the source. There are no actual settlements or permanent human inhabitants along the Seal River. The nearest permanent road to connect Seal River to the rest of the Canadian populace is southwest of the river.〔 While the source of the Seal River is Shethanei Lake, that water comes from the North Seal River and South Seal River, which empty into the lake. Those two rivers are actually much longer and contain more water than the Seal River.
The river flows through a mix of boreal forests at the southernmost edge of Canada's tundra. Because it travels through this transition zone, the river travels through dense forests, as well as portions of the barren and rocky subarctic wilderness. The course of the river is inconsistent and very dangerous to navigate. The river has no human uses, except for the very few skilled travelers on rafts or canoes who brave the treacherous waters each year.〔
