The Long Journey Across the Yukon with Montaine.
Twenty years ago, an adolescent named Nicolas Vanier was inspired by the novel of Jack London to answer the call of the wild.
Here is his story - in his own thrilling text, superb color photographs, and lively drawings of the world' s northernmost regions, of fabulous adventures, and of learning how to survive in the most hostile climate on the planet.
Vanier tells of his incredible expeditions around the top of the world, of life with nomandie reindeer breeders in Siberia, with Sekani Indians in the Alaskan Rocky Mountains and the Canadian Yokun, and with Lapps on the Kola Peninsula.
He also recounts and sketches his encounters with amazing animals, including polar bears, wolves, and grizzlies.
Vanier shares a wealth of information and lore garnered over two decades of travel: how to make an igloo, how to weave a pair of snow shoes from elk leather, how to navigate in snowstorms, and how to place a fishing net under ice.
His fascinating exploits - all clearly set out in fourteen maps and detailed observations - make North compelling reading for anyone with a taste for adventure.
The exciting photographs open a window to the beauty of these far-reaching places most people will never have a chance to visit.
Nicolas Vanier has written two books and directed a film, Child of the Snow, released in 1996.
250 full color photographs.
"I am neither an adventurer, a scientist, nor an explorer. I am simply a man in love with nature at its wildest and most beautiful." (Nicolas Vanier)
