438 pp. Map of the Arctic on endpapers, maps and illustrations throughout text. An Arctic journal by the Danish explorer and member of the Thule Expeditions. A famous Arctic explorer and an eminent Danish ornithologist have collaborated to produce a most unusual month-by-month account of how life goes on in the Far North. By tracing the exquisitly adjusted, intergrated relationships that hold climate and currents and living creatures, permafrost and plants, in balance, the authors have documented the great design of arctic ecology and shown how profoundly it is tied to the rest of the world.
