Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the author's series of expeditions to the Labrador Peninsula. Seeking respite from a chronic illness that afflicted him for years, the author ventured north to hunt and fish, and in doing so discovered a raw, icy land with a proud and resilient people. It is a world where wind-tossed icebergs dwarf the boats of the passing fishermen, and the echoes of solitude carry across desolate, barren lands. Ice floes glitter in a myriad of colors, from greens to golds to blues, and the midnight sun paints the sky in hues of red and orange. In this harsh landscape, the author encounters a spirit of profound faith and independence. And with every journey he embarks on deeper into Labrador's remote wilds, he sheds more light on a land lost to time, where the spirit of adventure lingers in the hearts of its people, frozen in the icy beauty of the unforgiving landscapes. As such, this book serves as both a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit and to the unfathomable wonder of the natural world.
