An astounding collection of photographs and essays celebrating the grandeur of Canadas most remote regions located along the three ocean coastlines.
Divided into three main sectionsthe Atlantic (Newfoundland and Labrador), the Arctic (Nunavut and The Northwest Passage), and the Pacific (Haida Gwaii and The Great Bear Rainforest)the book will highlight features of geographical and cultural significance using glorious full-colour photographs and personal reflections. These stunning photographs and warm-hearted stories will inspire the reader to embark on their own journey to explore places still unfamiliar to them in this vast and magnificent landscape of Canada.
Opening this book is like stepping into a prestigious gallery. With each image we sink deeper into coastal culture, climate and community. The added attention to text makes the storytelling even richer. This book provides the reader with a lasting visual and literary impact. -- Helen Rolfe, 2020 Book Competition Jury
