For an initiated few the North is a land of magic and opportunity, a magnet which for hundreds of years has attracted venturesome men of the sea, of science, of scholarship, and, in recent years, of industry. This book tells the story of their adventures.

In recent times the lure of minerals – petroleum, copper, native sulphur, iron, nickel, asbestos, and others – has developed a new kind of explorer. Their search for natural wealth has opened the eyes of the Canadians to the treasure house that is theirs on the mainland North and the multitude of islands above it. These pages tell too the story of today's explorers and the opportunities they have opened up for mankind.

50 pictures in full color, 100 in black-and-white, maps and diagrams supplement the text to help the reader understand what Northern exploration has meant to the past and means to the future.
