Book
Ice walker : a polar bear's journey through the fragile Arctic / James Raffan.
Nanurjuk, "the bear-spirited one," is hunting for seals on Hudson Bay. For her and her young, everything is in flux. In precise and provocative prose, geographer James Raffan brings readers inside Nanu's world as she treks uncertainly around the heart of Hudson Bay, searching for nourishment for the children that grow inside her. By focusing his lens on this bear family, he closes the gap between humans and bears, showing us how, like the water of the Hudson Bay, our existence - and our future - is tied to Nanu's.
