Barry Lopez, award-winning writer who ventured into the Arctic, dies at 75 Emily Langer Barry Lopez, a seeker and storyteller who plumbed the natural world for its wisdom, exploring the Arctic tundra, the Antarctic waters and spaces in between in voyages that became the stuff of his award-winning books, died Dec. 25 in Eugene, Ore. He was 75. He had prostate cancer, said his wife, Debra Gwartney. Mr. Lopez had been displaced to temporary housing in September, when wildfires ravaged his home in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon, between Eugene and Bend. The fire destroyed all of his original manuscripts, his wife said, as well as the artwork and artifacts that he had collected during decades of travels.
