After a chapter on the muskox, now a chapter for the magnificent polar bear.

"You have told me heaven is very beautiful. Now tell me one more thing. Is it more beautiful than the country of the muskox in the summer, when the mist blows over the lakes, and the water is blue, and the loons cry very often? That is beautiful. If heaven is still more beautiful, I will be glad. I will be content to rest there until I am very old."

We are so blessed to have had Barry Lopez. What an adventurer. What a writer!

This is an amazing book but it's going to take me forever to read.
