Warburton Pike travelled north beyond Great Slave Lake into the treeless Barren Ground in search of the musk-ox, living and hunting with Indigenous guides through a northern winter and spring. He records snow, hunger, caribou and geese, camp life in the lodges and the hard realities of travel in one of the emptiest places on earth.
