Title: A comprehensive history of Arctic exploration
Product review: Overall this is an excellent book. It is a comprehensive history with enough detail to be very interesting. It is written as a chapter by chapter summary of all important Arctic explorers with extensive use of diary extracts where available. There are some fascinating well-known and not-so-well-known tales of extraordinary feats of survival. Also the controversies surrounding "first at the pole" are covered. A very good book, highly recommended and well worth reading.
