An exhausted David Taylor paused to press his face against the glass of the helicopter window, squinting to see past the pelting snow. Seconds later his eyes were back on his map as he traced the route and calculated their current location. His hands were steady, but he knew time was running out. Taylor and a team of eight others had spent two days aboard helicopters and bush planes, flying 300 kilometres outside Yellowknife in search of a missing hunter who had managed to get trapped under the snow. The RCMP, the Royal Canadian Air Force, the Civil Air Rescue Association and others, 100 people in total, were out searching for the man, but it was Taylor and his team who spotted him and brought him to the hospital staff at Gahcho Kue Mine. The team lowered the helicopter to a flat surface on the tundra, close to the survivor who was stiff and near-frozen to death. From the mine, he was flown to the Yellowknife hospital and ultimately, survived.
