About the Author

Richard Brown

DR. RICHARD BROWN was one of Canada’s foremost experts on seagoing birds and worked for many years as a marine biologist with the Canadian Wildlife Service in Halifax.
Editorial Reviews

"It's a lilting, lyrical and loving natural history of the Arctic; of ships and seamen, whales and walruses; of explorers and eccentrics, of Baffin and Bernier; of the man who killed a million seals."

— Vancouver Province

"Brown is a Canadian marine biologist who cautions readers against becoming hooked, as he is, on 'the dangerous drug of the Arctic.' And that is a risk run by any reader of this excellent story..."

— Publishers Weekly

"Brown evokes the teeming life of the polar world with a lyrical eloquence."

— Books in Canada

"Fresh and fascinating... A very good book written in the tradition of Farley Mowat."

— Chicago Sun-Times

"...not just a tale of a huge chunk of ice...(it) also describes the lives of those who encountered the iceberg, either closely or in passing, in the two years before it ripped open a hole in the side of the Titanic."

— Halifax Herald
