Abstract:
Follows a herd of female caribou on their summer trek to their Arctic birthing grounds. The amazing five-month migration of a caribou herd to the Alaskan calving grounds is articulately told through firsthand accounts of the author. Vivid details and extrordinary photographs vicariously take readers on the journey, and readers become aware of the importance of protecting these grounds.
