He has written numerous books on the Arctic and was a Northern Service officer for~ the Federal government for several years. On one occasion after travelling all night with the dogs, they reach- ed Baker Lake in the early morn- ing. It was five miles to cross the lake on melting snow and the Inuit advised waiting until dark so the ice would have a chance to freeze.
