Funny and fascinating by turns, Living Explorers offers a first hand portrait of the Arctic and the wild, resourceful and caring men and women who first delved into its scientific secrets. It is the story of vital pioneering work in the Arctic by the people who first mapped the face of the far north. A 1978 symposium in Toronto, Canada, brought together "over 40 of the great names from two generations of Arctic history." Take a front row seat, as the hardships, the discoveries and the good natured fun make you wish you'd been born a generation earlier.
Contributors include- Richard Finnie on Bernier and the Arctic, C.H. Douglas Clarke on Hornby and the Thelon Game Sanctuary, C.H. Punch Dickins on bush flying, Josef Svoboda on Arctic plants, Moira Dunbar on Arctic ice and many more.
