"Arctic Dreams" (1986) describes five years in the Alaskan and Canadian Arctic, where Lopez worked as a biologist. Robert Macfarlane, reviewing the book in "The Guardian", describes him as "the most important living writer about wilderness". In "The New York Times", Michiko Kakutani argued that "Arctic Dreams" "is a book about the Arctic North in the way that "Moby-Dick" is a novel about whales".
