305 pages. Index. Black and white photographic plates. Maps. Adapted from 'New Land - Four Years in the Arctic Regions' by Norwegian explorer Otto Sverdrup "who fitted out Nansen's famous ice-ship Fram and with a band of tough companions spent four unbroken years (1898-1902) exploring and charting an uninhabited area of some 100,000 square miles among the Canadian islands. Provides the first complete story of Sverdrup's life, the first evaluation of his discoveries, and the first full account of the Sverdrup Islands dispute between Canada and Norway." - dust jacket. Small handwritten name atop front free endpaper, otherwise book clean and unmarked with moderate wear. Average wear to dust jacket which is now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart. A sound copy of this important history. Book
