This is the account of the first surface crossing of the Arctic recounted by the leader of the expedition. Herbert led three companions and thirty-four huskies from Alaska to Spitzbergen for 476 days. This was the longest arctic journey ever made at that time. A very personal, even intimate, book. Truly a remarkable story of the human endurance. With illustrations.
