colinmann 's review for:
This book took me a little while to get into but, much like the arctic itself, spend a little time there and you come away amazed. Lopez' writing evokes the beauty of this vast landscape that appears desolate but is teeming with wildlife, danger, and humanity's deep longing for exploration and connection to nature. I'm a little surprised to see this as a national bestseller but if you are into nature writing you will love it. Maybe you didn't know you wanted to learn about the numerous types of ice in the arctic? Migratory bird patterns? Polar bear seal hunting tactics? You will be captivated by all of it. Great, unexpected book.
