description: Barry Lopez has been hailed as a "master  nature writer" by The New York Times  Book Review , and Arctic  Dreams is undoubtedly his masterwork. Set amidst  the shimmering seas of Northern ice,   Arctic Dreams leads readers on a journey of  the mind and heart into a place that grips the  imagination and invigorates the soul. Part adventure  tale and part meditation on the art of  exploration, this magical book dazzles with the wonder of the  aurora borealis; the awesome power of polar bears  and killer whales; the monumental grandeur of  migrating icebergs; and the beauty and nobility of the  Arctic's indigenous people. Evocative and  everlasting, Arctic Dreams is a  classic.
