Jill Fredston has traveled more than 20,000 miles of the Arctic and sub-Arctic. She has disappeared every summer for years, exploring the rugged shorelines of Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Spitsbergen and Norway. Carrying enough gear to be self-sufficient, she and her husband have battled mountainous seas and hurricane-force winds, dragged their boats across jumbles of ice, fended of grizzlies and polar bears, been serenaded by humpback whales and scrutinized by puffins and reveled in moments of calm. Enjoy her tales of harsh but liberating reality of risk, the lure of discovery and the challenges and joys of living an unconventional life.
