Images of a forest in winter and snowshoe expedition of two Jesuits, at the time of New France. Forest, snowy trees (birch and spruce). Branches covered with snow. Snow on the branch tips. Mountain of snow-covered pines. Trees: birch, it snows. Snowy forest: two Jesuits snowshoe towards the camera. Wooden box "IHS" (religious objects) held in a shoulder trap. Snowy forest: the two men walk towards the camera, one of them falls exhausted, gets up, the march resumed. Feet, snowshoes, advancing and TILT UP to face, rackets.
