Alan and Noel push dog teams across the frost bound tundra to locate headwaters of the Kok river. They cross frozen lakes and barren stretches while foxes, sunlit ice, and a long trek mark a dangerous northern journey.
Alan and Noel pursue a vast lake believed to be a Koksoak headwaters after discovering a northern icebound expanse. They camp on the shore, trace three northern outlets, and push eastward along the lake in a wind driven quest to confirm river connections before a coming snowstorm.
In Chapter IX the sled team fights a three day storm retreating to spruce windbreaks. They seek a spring water route from Sink ang Lakes across three feet of fresh snow. Alan maps a water path via ponds on Height of Land as winter spirits loom and Montagnais trails appear. The tale follows McQueen awaiting spring and echoes polar night and bear paw signs along the Talk over trail.
