Klappentext
Biografische Anmerkung

Join renowned adventurer Frank Wolf on a gripping and epic journey through Canada's unforgiving northern wilderness.

Renowned adventurer Frank Wolf annually embarks on a series of long-distance wilderness journeys. A little while back, he attempted a 280 km ski journey across Baffin Island, a 1750 km canoe trip through the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, and a 550 km ski retracing of the 1854 expedition of legendary explorer John Rae, all in less than a year.


Moving through rugged landscapes, across 6000-foot-high glaciers, and down wild tundra rivers, each of these epic excursions took place with different teams of people brought together to complete challenging missions in some of the most unforgiving environments on the planet.


Beyond the sordid tales of adventure, we're also given a window into the displaced time between Wolf's primordial wanderings, revealing that his remote explorations, though arduous and uncomfortable, are easier for the wanderer than the fallow times. The inner adventure bouncing around in Wolf's head during these periods is often wilder than the obstacles he faces in the hinterlands of Canada as he copes with being a misfit in the modern world.



Frank Wolf has been called One of Canada's 90 Greatest Explorers of all Time by the Royal Canadian Geographical Society and has crafted a life out of adventure, undertaking thousands of kilometres of self-propelled wilderness travel in pursuit of his passion. As "Canada's most diverse adventurer" (Canoe & Kayak Magazine) his impressive list of accomplishments include the first single-season crossing of Canada by canoe, rowing the Northwest Passage, skiing across Baffin Island, and completing the triple crown of British Columbia sea kayaking. He is a regular feature writer and blogger for Explore Magazine, and has published dozens of features for Mountain Life Magazine, Paddling Magazine, Coast Mountain Culture Magazine, and Canadian Geographic, among others. His first book, Lines on a Map: Unparalleled Adventures in Modern Exploration, was also published by RMB. He lives in North Vancouver, British Columbia.
