Review:

"As Reid recounts his Arctic sojourns with awe, lyricism, and bemusement, he subtly interlaces inner and outer worlds and traces the circles of struggle and understanding, life and death. Spectacular descriptions, charming wit, and forthright reflections ... " -- Donna Seaman "Booklist"

Reid "eschews dry scientific explanations in favor of poetic and playful descriptions ... This book is perfect for anyone who enjoys a good travelogue or memoir, and the engaging blend of spiritual and scientific elements ensure a broad appeal." -- Kenrick Vezina "ForeWord Reviews"

Synopsis:

Every year without fail, caribou from the Yukon and Alaska set off in early April to a small corner of the Arctic circle to birth to their young.The journey - an arduous ordeal of mountains and blizzards, ravenous wolves, scant forage, and river crossings with chunks of ice the size of pickup trucks - is the longest migration of any land animal on earth. Despite these formidable obstacles, the females find their way to the calving grounds, deliver their young, and begin the long journey home."Arctic Circle" is a moving, evocative, and poignant account of this momentous journey, beautifully illustrated with stunning full-colour photography.
