On Canada’s Remote Kaska Coast, Wolf Spotting Under the Northern Lights

From Conde Nast Traveler:

The wolf was not shy. She came silent and fast from behind, flanking our line of hikers. She circled to the front and stopped. She lifted her nose, narrowed her eyes against the wind, and studied our strange herd. What were we? Not caribou or moose, definitely not lemmings.

“Whoa, what a beauty,” my wife, Kim, murmured. “She must be 90 pounds. And not anxious in the least.”
