Sheila Burnford wrote One Woman's Arctic about her two summers in Pond Inlet on Baffin Island. She travelled by komatik with dogs, assisted in archeological excavation, having to thaw the land inch by inch, ate everything offered to her, and saw the migration of the narwhals. This is a world that has experienced unlimited change but Ms. Burnford saw the best and worst of Pond Inlet at a time gone forever.
