The Arctic is the opposite of a vacation destination. In this unique book, diary entries of a fictional explorer present exciting glimpses into what it takes to reach the Geographic North Pole. Each entry is accompanied by related scientific and historical information, offering a well-rounded examination of the Arctic climate and landscape. Polar explorers face dangers such as hypothermia, frostbite, whiteouts, and polar bear attacks. However, they also experience the stark beauty of a frozen wilderness. Various kinds of fact boxes and vivid photographs add veracity and interest to this daunting expedition.
