Animation
Using digital elevation data modeling integrated with satellite imagery, this fly-by animation travels down the St. Lawrence River to Québec City as an early explorer. The journey starts at Saint-Nicolas, circles over Île d’Orléans and then travels over Québec City where we find many sites such has Bassin Louise and the Plains of Abraham, hosting celebrations for the 400th anniversary of the foundation of Québec City.
