Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. In 1881, twenty-five men embarked on a daring Arctic expedition, venturing farther north than any explorers before them. This book chronicles their incredible journey through the unforgiving polar landscape, where they faced unimaginable challenges and made groundbreaking discoveries.
