1977174 pages including black and white photographic plates. In Spence Bay, in the far north of Canada, Judy Hill, a young nurse from Kingsbridge, Devon, decided to devote her life to caring for a community of Eskimos. In reading her story we learn of a hard cruel world where even 'survival' was still a luxury and of the courage necessary for the nurses to look after these still relatively primitive people in very isolated places. Here tragic death in a plane crash in 1972 drew attention to the vitally needed improvements in communications and facilities for these dedicated nurses. The facts of her death, and the controversy that surrounded Hartwell's action when he decided to use her body for nourishment, drew the world's attention to the risks these nurses took everyday in the wastes of the Arctic.
