Description: An Arctic adventure tale chronicling Ovsyanikov's years spent living with the polar bears in the region. The author, a wildlife researcher, has survived numerous face to face encounters debunking popular myths of the bears as "maneaters" and in the course of the volume documents different polar bear personalities, follows walrus hunts, and also mothers leading their cubs to the ice. As if that weren't enough, over 100 color photographs make a remarkable portfolio capturing the extraordinary landscape as well as the bears themselves.
