Map of the inland explorations of Randle Fynes Wilson Holme (1864-1957) in Labrador.

At Monday’s meeting of the Royal Geographical Society, the paper read was by Mr. Randle F. Holme, on Labrador, which he visited in July–October of last year. Mr. Holme succeeded in penetrating into the heart of Southern Labrador, as far as Lake Waminikapou, and not far from the Grand Falls, which Mr. Holme believes will turn out to be the greatest falls in the world; but, as General Strachey pointed out in the discussion, Mr. Holme’s conception of the height is probably exaggerated. Mr. Holme went from Newfoundland to Bonne Esperance on the southeast coast of Labrador, and sailing northwards touched at several points, proceeding up Hamilton Inlet and the Grand River, to the point mentioned above. Mr. Holme found many difficulties in the way, and much of the country he visited was virtually unexplored.
