Steve Zipp spent many years in the North, his work taking him from Baffin Island to the Mackenzie Mountains, the Arctic coast to the Mackenzie Bison Sanctuary.  

He's battled mosquitoes and overflow and frozen water pipes.  He's banded ducks and tagged polar bears, participated in aerial caribou surveys, chowed down on seal and walrus, endured raven-induced blackouts, and enjoyed many other pleasures of northern life.  

Excerpts from Yellowknife have appeared in Lichen and Pottersfield Portfolio.  Other writings by the author have appeared in On Spec and Prairie Fire.

More about the author can be found on his blog.
