Abstract:

"In the 1900s, Mardy and Olaus Murie set out on an Arctic adventure, studying the land and animals. They learned from Indigenous communities the interconnectedness of life and understood that humans were threatening nature. So they fought to protect the Arctic-lobbying for what became the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge"-- Provided by publisher.
