About This Book

The narrator recounts a year spent with a small Arctic expedition on Greenland’s northwest coast, chronicling voyages through pack ice, the establishment of winter quarters, hunting and boat journeys, and seasonal life under perpetual daylight and polar night. Entries blend practical notes on clothing, camps, and travel preparations with close observation of an isolated native community’s customs, domestic routines, and celebrations. The narrative also describes sledge journeys and an inland-ice traverse reported by the expedition leader, occasional relief visits and rescues, and the daily challenges and adaptations of living in extreme polar conditions.
