"I just wanted to let you know what a pleasure it was to read about your adventures in your Siku Kayak book. What will and determination it must have taken to continue on at times, and also to make the decision to not continue further. The pictures were well worth a million words, as realizing that the ice may not let you back to shore: AMAZING. Thank you so much for sharing with us." -Steven S.

Photos from the book Siku Kayak

The book includes 272 photos, and to make the publication economically feasible we had to print them in black and white. This many quality color photos would have been prohibitively expensive. So for those people who have purchased the book, we are reproducing the color photos here on the web.
