Arctic National Wildlife Refuge: Seasons of Life and Land

$15.00 CAD

pp. 176, colour photographs, “It is a land of pristine wilderness, pulsing with life even in the depths of white subzero winter. Entirely unscarred by roads or signs, it is the place in all Alaska where the polar bear most often prefers to den. It is host to more than 180 resident and migratory bird species that journey from six continents and all fifty states to nest and rear their young. Because of the massive herds of Porcupine caribou who converge upon the coastal plain to calve each spring, it is known as “the American Serengeti.” To the Gwich’ in people, who call the refuge their home, it is “The Sacred Place Where Life Begins.” Signed and inscribed by Subhankar Banerjee on FEP
