Science and storytelling about the search to understand disappearance

Additional text

"Her omnivorous curiosity is fascinating." ⁠— Elizabeth Dodd, author of In the Mind's Eye

“Following the trails Peterson maps, you don’t so much find your way to and from the northern latitudes as get lost in them along with her—lost in a way that makes you look around in wonderment, gratitude, and grief." — Donovan Hahn, author of Moby Duck
