"Epic" - Country Life

"A fascinating journey highlighting important stories and Inuit knowledge - Cooper's writing is gripping." - Levison Wood, author of Walking the Nile

Living and hunting with the Inuit in northwest Greenland in the summer, winter and spring months, Edward Cooper journeys to the Arctic islands with his travel companion in search of a note left by the little-known explorer, David Haig-Thomas. Suffering from snow blindness and frostbite, fighting off hungry polar bears, surrounded by the white wolves of Ellesmere Island and hunting with the Inuit of northwest Greenland, Edward Cooper discovers a land steeped in culture and history. Cooper highlights Greenland as a litmus test for a world evolving geopolitically and through climate change.

Part travelogue, part adventure, part history, this is a mesmerising take on Polar travel and an insight into the people that live there. A book for intrepid travellers, Polar enthusiasts and people interested in the environment, fishing or indigenous communities, The Inuit Way really does have something for everyone.
