"As I watched the endless lakes and boreal forest glide under the Beaver in the two-hour flight from Yellowknife to the Thelon, I felt like I had traveled back in time to the late Pleistocene."  

"When we approached the lake on our final descent, the partially frozen lake appeared like a retreating glacier on the horizon, and I half expected to see woolly mammoths or saber tooth tigers awaiting us.

What I found instead was a very comfortable camp on a sandy esker in the middle of the arctic prairie, a rich oasis of habitat teaming with wildlife in the middle of the Canadian Barrenlands."

"The next two weeks would afford me opportunities to photograph nesting gyrfalcons, merlins, ravens, and American golden plovers.  I would also photograph Harris sparrows carrying insects to their nests,... arctic hares in summer pelage, and long-tailed ducks, not to mention a myriad of gorgeous tundra scenery."

"The moonrise and sunsets were incredible!  I would participate in a midnight musk ox stalk on the fourth of July and observe white wolves near their den.  While I was busy photographing nesting birds, several others flew out to witness the caribou migration several hundred miles north, and observed wolves taking down a caribou in the middle of a river, a sight few ever see."

"Tundra Tom's camp is an ideal place for anyone interested in observing the workings of an intact sub arctic ecosystem, whether through the lens of a photographer, the binoculars of a birder, or the curious eyes of anyone who just wants to witness first hand one of the most wonderful places on the planet."

"Many others have said that this place gets to your soul, and I couldn't't agree more."
