National Geographic Explorer and photographer Kiliii Yuyan lives a wild life at the edge of the world! But he was once a young boy, preparing to move to the big city, sad about leaving behind his school and friends. To give him strength, his grandmother tells him the story of his ancestor and namesake, a magical hero who rode on the back of an orca in a desperate bid to save his people from starvation.
In the present day, Explorer Kiliii journeys up to the Arctic Circle of Greenland to photograph a dog sled race. Little does he know he's about to be recruited for an expedition to find the elusive unicorn of the sea—the narwhal! But many things stand in his way, including melting glaciers and a rare attack by a hungry polar bear.
In Search of Narwhals is the story of Kiliii Yuyan's love of exploration and how far it takes him. Along the way, he makes new friends, brushes up against danger on the ice, and draws strength and inspiration from his Indigenous Nanai ancestors. Life in the Arctic is changing faster than ever, but Kiliii is there to document it before it disappears forever.
