Publisher's Synopsis

The Land of Desolation is a book written by Isaac Israel Hayes in 1871. It is a personal narrative of his observations and adventures in Greenland. The book describes the harsh and unforgiving conditions of the Arctic landscape and the challenges faced by explorers trying to survive in this inhospitable environment. Hayes provides a detailed account of his journey, including his encounters with the native Inuit people, the wildlife he encountered, and the geography of the land. He also reflects on the psychological impact of isolation and the toll it takes on the human mind. The Land of Desolation is an important historical document that offers a glimpse into the world of Arctic exploration during the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
