High Arctic;: An expedition to the unspoiled north

George Miksch Sutton

4.9/5 (20316 ratings)

Description:This is the personal record of an adventure across the icelands of the Canadian North by one of our most distinguished contemporary ornithologists and painters of birds, and an explorer extraordinaire. It is an exhilaratingly fresh account of a recent journey made by George Miksch Sutton to remote and uninhabited Bathurst Island, located northwest of Baffin Bay about half way between the Arctic Circle and the northernmost lands known to man. With a handful of colleagues he departed one late Spring as a member of an expedition sponsored by the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Ottawa to study behaviour, life history, and distribution of Arctic shorebirds. In this book Dr. Sutton describes his experiences and adventures - delightfully and informally. "You could put George Sutton, the bird artist, anywhere on the continent," wrote Roger Tory Peterson, "and he would know immediately what to look for." And what he soon found on Bathurst was a rare collection of bird and mammal as can be found anywhere in the musk-oxen, Peary's caribou, white wolves, lemming, snowy horned owls, purple sandpipers, long-tailed jaegers, rock ptarmigan, ivory gulls. Many of these he painted and eleven of them are depicted in full color in this book.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
