Ives has written a lively and informative account of several expeditions to Baffin Island during the "golden age" of federal research. In the 1960s, scientists from the Geographical Branch of Canada's Department of Energy, Mines, and Resources travelled to Baffin to study glacial geomorphology and glaciology. Their fieldwork resulted in vastly increased knowledge of the Far North-from its ice caps and glaciers to its lichens and microfossils. Drawing from the recollections of his Baffin colleagues as well as from his own memories, Ives takes readers on a remarkable adventure, describing the day-to-day experiences of the field teams in the context of both contemporary Arctic research and bureaucratic decision making. Along the way, his narrative illustrates the role played by the Cold War-era Distant Early Warning Line and other northern infrastructure, the crucial importance of his pioneering aerial photography, the unpredictable nature of planes, helicopters, and radios in Arctic regions, and of course, the vast and breathtaking scenery of the North.Baffin Island encompasses both field research and High Arctic adventure. The research trips to Baffin between 1961 and 1967 also served as a vital training ground in polar studies for university students; further, they represented a breakthrough in gender equality in government-sponsored science, thanks to the author's persistence in having women permitted on the teams. The book contains a special section detailing the subsequent professional achievements of the many researchers involved (in addition to the later career moves of Ives himself) and a chapter that delves deeper into the science behind their fieldwork in the North. Readers need not be versed in glaciology, however. Ives has produced a highly readable book that seamlessly combines research and adventure. 410 0$aNorthern Lights ;$vvolume 18. 606 $aGeographers$xTravel$zNunavut$zBaffin Island 606 $aGeographers$zCanada$vBiography 606 $aGeography$xFieldwork$zNunavut$zBaffin Island$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aResearch$xGovernment policy$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aArctic regions$xResearch$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aBaffin Island (Nunavut)$xHistory$y20th century 610 $aEarth sciences 610 $aEnvironment 610 $aField research 615 0$aGeographers$xTravel 615 0$aGeographers 615 0$aGeography$xFieldwork$xHistory 615 0$aResearch$xGovernment policy$xHistory 676 $a910.92 700 $aIves$b Jack D.$0613342 702 $aIves$b Jack D$4oth 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136422803321 996 $aBaffin Island$91989749 997 $aUNINA
