Summary
"This saga of Arctic exploration is enhanced by quotations from grim first-hand accounts and by dramatic images. Paintings, engravings and photographs of the intrepid men and their ships, as well as of relics and sites, provide a poignant link with the past, while landscapes and seascapes of the harsh yet beautiful Arctic illustrate the challenges that faced explorers."--BOOK JACKET.
