Photographic account of the great herds of Barren-ground caribou and their yearly migrations through northern Canada and Alaska.

Mueller takes us on a journey of personal memoir, environmental and cultural insight as well as a coming of (middle) age story-all told with warm wit and wisdom from the aft end of a red canoe while paddling the waters of northern Canada. He reflects on the struggle of our planet and humankind to coexist, pays tribute to North America's last free-flowing rivers, laments the ruin of others, and invites us to learn about the people of the Far North. Ultimately, this is a story about the inseparable searches for both individual and cultural identity, searches that link us all in shared humanity. This second edition includes an afterword with important updates on topics regarding the environment, energy, and Indigenous Peoples of Canada.

First published in 2001, Barren Lands is the classic true story of the men who sought—and found—a great diamond mine on the last frontier of the far north.

Combining geology, science history, raw nature, and high intrigue, it is also a tale of supreme adventure, taking the reader into a magical—and now fast-vanishing—wild landscape.
