Christopher Hill’s one-man journey across eight countries is revealed in this book through vivid descriptions and photographs of the people living under such harsh conditions. He uncovers the serious, often overlooked problem of damage to the Artic caused by the increase in global pollution. Hill seeks to encourage the reader to contemplate the extent of man’s damage to this environment, and he also presents an insight into the Arctic culture. This book is published to coincide with the 1993 United Nations International Year of Indigenous Peoples.
