About This Book

The author recounts a long voyage that begins in the high North and proceeds toward the equator, blending vivid landscape observation, transport and industrial detail, and accounts of polar exploration. Early sections describe rail travel through endless forests, the midnight sun, massive iron-ore extraction and loading operations, snowy approaches to Lapland and deep mountain lakes, and encounters with local reindeer-herding communities. Interwoven are historical and scientific reflections on Arctic ice and earlier polar expeditions and the practical difficulties of navigation. Later chapters contrast progressively warmer climates, diverse peoples, and natural phenomena encountered on the southward journey.
