Description

Description

The North Pole is an otherworldly place where the sun rises and remains high for six whole months before setting, plunging the vastness of ice and water into darkness for half a year. In this book, Erling Kagge travels to the North Pole in the spring of 1990, revealing its history as it has never been told before.

From Herodotus, who first wondered what the northern edge of our planet might be like, to the daring early maps and legendary expeditions by Fridtjof Nansen and Robert Peary, who were consumed by a dangerous obsession to be the first to reach the North Pole, a new history of the world emerges that spans thousands of years.

Combining memories from his 1990 journey with this epic history, the book is an adventure, a story about realizing hidden human dreams, about difficult fathers and their difficult sons, as well as a psychological record of what it means to keep moving forward despite adversity.
