The Arctic is accessible to man only because of ice dogs.  As hunters, haulers and guardians, for thousands of years they have been a vital link to nature.  Dogs led the Sarqaq people out of Siberia and, a millennium later, led explorers to the North Pole.  Amundsen won the race to the Pole because he relied on ice dogs.  As the light returns to Greenland, we arrive in Scoresbysund with a troop of the only companions worth having.

We also put our characters under the microscope by challenging them to a variety of revealing, scientific tests in order to discover whether or not they are for real, highly trained or mutant individuals.

Our ongoing quest to explore and come to terms with the Arctic is presented in the context of the crucial role that ice plays in the north.  Ice is to the Arctic as trees are to the rainforest.  It is the underpinning of the ecosystem, the foundation upon which the animals and plants of the north depend.  We meet an ice scientist who lives and works with the Inuit, blending their traditional knowledge with modern scientific methods.  We travel to the town of Churchill, Manitoba, polar bear capital of the world, where the people have turned a feared predator into a revered asset.  We join an expedition of beluga biologists who are monitoring the migration patters of these ice dependent whales.  Underlying all these stories are the changes that are quickly overtaking the people and animals who have adapted over thousands of years to this land of ice and snow.
