A rugged memoir of sea?otter hunting in the Kuril Islands, full of travel, danger and natural history. The author shares memories of life aboard schooners, voyages through barren seas and stormy skies, encounters with wildlife and indigenous people, plus vivid scenes of rugged coasts and high winds. It reflects the decline of sea?otters under intense hunting pressure while celebrating the strange beauty of a remote, forbidding wilderness.
