About This Book
The author records a continuous overland expedition from Western Europe to eastern North America, tracing routes by mainline rail, sled and local craft across the Trans‑Siberian, remote Yakut and Kolyma regions, the Bering Strait, and the Yukon, recounting extreme weather, logistical challenges, and interactions with local communities. The narrative alternates travel chapters with practical appendices—distance tables, settlement lists, dialect glossaries, and meteorological records—and includes illustrations. Focus falls on route‑finding, modes of transport such as horse, reindeer and dog sleds, the difficulties of Arctic and subarctic travel, and observations on engineering efforts and seasonal hazards encountered along the route.
