A place where, in our increasingly interconnected, digital world, it's still possible to wander for months without crossing a single road, or even see another human being. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBetween his starting point in Eagle Plains, Yukon Territory, to his destination in Baker Lake, Nunavut, lies a maze of obstacles: shifting ice floes, swollen rivers, fog-bound lakes, and gale-force storms. And Shoalts must time his departure by the breakup of the spring ice, then sprint across nearly 4,000 kilometers of rugged, wild terrain to arrive before winter closes in. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe travels alone up raging rivers that only the most expert white-water canoeists dare travel even downstream. He must portage across fields of jagged rocks that stretch to the horizon, and navigate labyrinths of swamps, tormented by clouds of mosquitoes every step of the way. And the race against the calendar means that he cannot afford the luxuries of rest, or of making mistakes. Shoalts must trek tirelessly, well into the endless Arctic summer nights, at times not even pausing to eat. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut his reward is the adventure of a lifetime. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHeart-stopping, wonder-filled, and attentive to the majesty of the natural world, \u003ci\u003eBeyond the Trees\u003c\/i\u003e captures the ache for adventure that afflicts us all.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eADAM SHOALTS is a historian, archaeologist, geographer, and Westaway Explorer-in-Residence at the Royal Canadian Geographical Society.
