Dewey Soper was the last of the great pioneer naturalists in Canada. He was also a skilled and meticulous explorer, particularly in the Arctic and sub-Arctic.

 Dewey Soper first travelled to the Arctic in 1923. During the next seven years he accepted three research postings on Baffin Island, each of which lasted between one and two years. In 1929 he discovered the breeding grounds of the blue goose in the southwest corner of Baffin Island. He also charted the final unknown regions of Baffin Island's coastline. Later in life he worked in the western Arctic. Outside the Far North, Soper studied bison in Wood Buffalo National Park, documented birdlife on the Prairies, and made a detailed study of small mammals in Alberta.
