About This Book

A teenage cabin boy recounts a summertime Arctic cruise aboard a small exploration vessel, describing daily life at sea, encounters with pack ice and storms, and visits to Labrador, Greenland and Baffin Island. The narrative mixes adventure—navigation through heavy ice, a threatened ship, aerial operations—and quieter scenes of fishing, hunting, and contact with Inuit communities, including material culture and local homes. Photographs and episodic chapters trace the voyage from departure through northern landfalls, glacier and iceberg views, a farthest north reached, and the return home, offering an observer's lively, descriptive perspective on northern exploration.
