In 1903 a small wooden ship slipped into the frozen labyrinth of Arctic Canada, commanded by a young Norwegian determined to find a way through. The ice waits. Out here, even men change. In this classic arctic exploration book, Roald Amundsen recounts his own roald amundsen arctic voyage through the elusive Northwest Passage, a polar expedition memoir of the gjoa northwest passage voyage that joined the Atlantic and Pacific by way of ice-choked sounds and uncharted shoals. Volume II deepens the narrative of northwest passage exploration with detailed observations of landscape, weather and sea ice, encounters across early 1900s arctic canada, and the daily labour of arctic navigation and survival. Clear, direct and often understated, it stands as a compelling historical travel nonfiction book for armchair explorers who want to feel the creak of timbers and the long polar night from the safety of home. A landmark of canadian arctic seafaring literature and a touchstone for polar history buffs and fans of polar exploration classics, Amundsen's account illuminates the courage, calculation and restraint required to live at the edge of the known world. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
