Publisher's Synopsis
Conquering The Arctic Ice is a book written by Ejnar Mikkelsen in 1909. The book is a detailed account of Mikkelsen's expedition to the Arctic region in 1907-1908, where he and his team attempted to explore and conquer the uncharted territory of the Arctic ice. Mikkelsen's expedition was a daring and dangerous one, as they faced extreme weather conditions, harsh terrain, and the constant threat of starvation and exposure. The book chronicles their journey, from their departure from Denmark to their arrival in Greenland, and their subsequent journey across the Arctic ice. Throughout the book, Mikkelsen describes the challenges and obstacles they faced, including the constant danger of falling through the ice, the difficulty of navigating in the midst of constant darkness, and the harsh living conditions they endured. He also provides fascinating insights into the culture and way of life of the indigenous people they encountered along the way. Conquering The Arctic Ice is a gripping and inspiring tale of adventure and exploration, and a testament to the resilience and courage of the human spirit in the face of adversity. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Arctic exploration, and the triumph of the human spirit over the forces of nature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
