Dennis Reid, Alberta Rhythm: The Later Work of A.Y. Jackson, Art Gallery of Ontario, 1982, page 33

In July of 1965, Jackson traveled to Baffin Island with members of the Alpine Club of Canada. They stopped at Frobisher Bay, then proceeded on to camp north of Pangnirtung for a month. Jackson had been to Baffin Island twice previously - in 1927 and 1930 - but this would be his last visit. Reid writes of the fine work he did on this trip: "The authenticity of mood and atmosphere...is overwhelming, a triumph."
