Absolutely gorgeous writing and insights. I can't think of much to say about this beyond expressing how much I appreciated the author's connection with both the natural world and our relationship with it. So many nature books get really floaty and on about the perfection of the natural world, and her descriptions of a pod of killer whales, or an ice burg are nothing short of astonishing, but the book is always about how humans and the land and the animals interact and connect, what place we have with each other. Sometimes brutal, sometimes stunning, always interesting.
