This is the true story of John Muir, his friend Hall Young, their crew, and Young's dog, as they explore Alaska. Muir sets off with dog in tow in the numbing cold and snow to map glaciers and is surprised at the dog's courage. Dramatic landscapes and endearing images of the dog enhance a story that is more about man and dog than about Muir's extraordinary accomplishments.
