Adventures with Camera and Pen

This is a book for all those who yearn for far away places: the adventurers and the armchair travellers. The stories run the gamut from searching for Polar bears on the shores of Hudson Bay through mountain climbing in Western Canada to tracking Royal Bengal tigers in Bangladesh jungle. They depict often hilarious encounters with an eclectic variety of wildlife in the Canadian Arctic, the Falkland Islands and Namibia. Author recounts his adventures at sea on tall-ships, and his fumbling attempts at fishing closer to home. As an expedition leader, Dalton documents a difficult journey to remote salt mines in the Sahara north of Timbuktu with a CBC-TV film crew.
