'Brrrr' Doesn't Even Come Close...Winter weather is unfortunately... still... here. But then again, we live in Connecticut and not in Arctic regions. If you love animal, adventure, or against-the-odds survival stories, you may enjoy the following books, written from different perspectives. All describe life and times in a much colder climate.
Arctic Fox, written by Garry Hamilton and photographed by Norbert Rosing, showcases the everyday life of this cat-sized and little known tundra resident.
In Being Caribou: Five Months on Foot with an Arctic Herd, author Karsten Heuer relates his 2003 adventure with Arctic caribou. Color photos add to a highly readable text.
Conquering the Impossible is Mike Horn's tale of his 12,000 mile trip around the entire perimeter of the Arctic Circle. Thrilling stuff but please do grab a blanket to take off the chill.
Writer and photographer Seth Kantner reflects on life in Alaska -- what's been gained and what's been lost -- in his memoir, Shopping for Porcupine.
The Long Exile by Melanie McGrath looks back on the 1920's movie, Nanook of the North and traces the relocation of several Inuit families in the 1950s and outcome in the 1990s.
