The Warm Arctic

The Warm Arctic 

Norman Price has visited most of the countries within the Arctic Circle, from Finland to Alaska, even penetrating the borders of the Russian Far East. Cold and hostile the terrain might be, but this engaging book reveals the warmth and friendliness of the people who inhabit one of the Earth's last great wildernesses. It is his earnest desire to learn about the cultures of these people and his passion for the rugged beauty of the North that has drawn him back again and again to the 'land of the midnight sun'.

In Greenland he finds 'the most northerly rose in the world', in Canada he is treated to a spectacular display of the aurora borealis 'hung in shimmering curtains', in Finland he endeavours to photograph a pure white reindeer against snow, while in Russia he finds beauty in the bleakest of places where ugliness is transformed by the kindness and humour of those he encounters. Finally, in a memorable closing chapter, he passes the baton of his irrepressible fascination with the Arctic to his grandson as they explore the East Coast of Greenland together, providing an affectionate conclusion to a remarkable and inspiring travelogue.
