<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The reader, if he or she doesn't watch out, will succumb to [Iglauer's] affection for Canada's 'true north'- a disease that people up there call Arctic Fever, and say is incurable.<br/>-<i>New York Times</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In savage blizzards, blinding whiteouts and 60-below-zero temperatures, steel axles snap like twigs; brakes and steering wheels seize up; bare hands freeze when they touch metal. The lake ice cracks and sometimes gives way, so the roadbuilders drive with one hand on the door, ready to jump.<br/><br/>John Denison and his crew waited for the coldest, darkest days of winter every year to set out to build a 520-kilometre road made of ice and snow, from Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories to a silver mine on Great Bear Lake, above the Arctic Circle - this is their story.<br/> <br/>Edith Iglauer was the first outsider ever to accompany them as they worked. This book, her chronicle of a gruelling, fascinating journey through Canada's north, has sold over 20,000 copies since its first publication in 1974.
