Book Description
Story of a voyage to the Arctic in 1994-95 in a 36-foot
steel cutter. The author and his wife seek adventure, nature,
and a deeper understanding of the Inuit people, finding more
of all three than they dreamed. Their boat iced in for the
winter in the Northwest passage at 74 degrees North, word
comes by radio that Diana's father is dying of cancer. The
Canadian Coast Guard evacuates her by helicopter and Alvah
must survive the winter darkness alone but for a cat.
Harrowing adventures, great photographs, and a flair for
story telling.
