Product Description
In one actionpacked year, Ian and Sally Wilson travelled 3,500 kilometres by canoe and dog team across Canada's vast Arctic. They also lived with an Inuit family and learned how to build igloos and run a team of seven boisterous huskies. In this book, the authors share their Arctic adventures, including the thrill of having 15,000 caribou tramp past their tent and the suspense of camping on shifting ice.

 Arctic Adventures November 23, 2001
Mr. Paul D. White (United Kingdom)

A wonderful book! A well written and stimulating book. Most adventure books are written by experts in adventure travel. It was refreshing to read a book written by people with no experience with a dog team, learning on the job in the harsh enviroment of the arctic. It certainly took 'guts'to battle with the elements with such limited experience, especially in such low temperatures that would almost kill the unprepared within minutes. It was because of this inexperience that one could identify with this couple, and in some ways wish you were with them, if only to give a helping hand, or work out a problem that may endanger their lives.
 Excellent real life adventure story for all age readers July 9, 2000

With this delightful page-turner, the authors have drawn together a varied account of Arctic travels and adventures spanning four seasons. You feel you are right there with them as Ian and Sally Wilson traverse the tundra, rivers, lakes, ice and snow of the far north region near Hudson Bay. The insights into native culture, life styles and the lessons of the region are fascinating and deserving attention. For armchair adventurers or those who yearn to try something new, this book is both a travelogue and an instructional gem. The many pictures greatly enhance reader awareness and appreciation for the experience of this adventuresome couple. Very well written.
