In one of Earth’s most amazing migrations, more than 100,000 caribou endure arctic blizzards, climb over mountain passes, and forge icy rivers. Pregnant caribou trek more than 1,000 miles, risking attack from hungry wolves, huge grizzly bears, and voracious, blood-sucking insects in order to reach the one safe place to give birth: the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. This is a potentially deadly voyage for any caribou. But for a human? Unheard of. Or it was until the author and his new wife began an unusual honeymoon: migrating by foot and skis, with the Porcupine caribou herd.

Stunning photographs of this grand adventure help children understand these incredible arctic animals and the threats they continue to face from both humans and nature.
