Rupert Plateau

The Rupert Plateau is a broad region of forest and rolling ground in the northern Canadian Shield. Thin glacial deposits cover much of its ancient rock, while organic soils gather in hollows and lakes and rivers break the woodland into innumerable stretches. Black spruce dominates the boreal forest, with balsam fir in denser stands. Summers are cool and winters cold across the country between Lake Mistassini and James Bay.
