Publisher's Synopsis

The Friendly Arctic V1: The Story Of Five Years In Polar Regions is a non-fiction book written by Vilhjalmur Stefansson. The book is a detailed account of the author's five-year expedition to the Arctic regions, where he lived among the Inuit people and explored the vast, frozen wilderness. The book is divided into several chapters, each offering a unique perspective on the author's experiences in the Arctic. Stefansson discusses the challenges of living in such a harsh and unforgiving environment, including the difficulties of finding food and shelter, dealing with extreme weather conditions, and navigating the treacherous terrain. Throughout the book, Stefansson also shares his observations on the Inuit people and their way of life, providing insight into their culture, customs, and beliefs. He describes their hunting and fishing practices, their social structures, and their interactions with the natural world. The Friendly Arctic V1 is a fascinating and engaging read for anyone interested in Arctic exploration, anthropology, or environmental studies. Stefansson's vivid descriptions and personal anecdotes bring the Arctic to life, offering readers a glimpse into a world that few have ever experienced.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
