An elderly hunter seeks the bear that killed his son. An oceanographer befriends a whale, then tries to follow it to its undersea graveyard. Author Jack London seeks gold in the frozen north and discovers how little he knows about surviving in the wild. These stories and more are featured in The Ice Wanderer and Other Stories, a collection of seinen manga by Jiro Taniguchi.

In this scene from Return to the Sea, an oceanographer follows a dying great white to his final destination, the graveyard of the whales.
