Description
Working North offers an unvarnished look at life in the Arctic, as experienced by welder Rick Ranson. His stories combine the beauty and mystery of the region with its harsh realities.
The tales collected during his time on the Dew Line and drill ships are rich and varied, ranging from encounters with polar bears to the challenges of working in isolation. Ranson's unique perspective brings these experiences to life in strong, humorous, and quirky stories.
