    <body><![CDATA[Well, everybody's reviews, and its 4.3 average rating make me pretty sure I'm missing something here. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for this book right now, but it seemed to go in many random directions. I thought I was going to get some good Scrabble words out of it, anyway, but <em>iglu</em> and <em>aglu</em> aren't legal.<br/><br/>The book goes over the wildlife, then the history of the various Eskimo (<em>sic</em>) groups there, then touched on oil exploration a little, then the history of European conquest of the Arctic. I kept hoping for sweeping passages that would conjure up gigantic walls of ice that would make me feel cold and fearful, but that never happened.]]></body>
