paperback. 2017 First Edition. 345pp, paperback, New. Printed on quality paper, label signed by Beau Riffenburgh on the half title Astrup and Peary had caused an international sensation with their 1300 mile trek across Northern Greenland. Astrup had helped pioneer the combination of skiing and dog sledging, and was infatuated with the life of the Inuit. He had impressed Peary and had established warm friendships with the other expedition members. On his arrival in Norway, he was widely celebrated in the media and elsewhere, and gave a number of lectures in southern Norway. After receiving international recognition for his explorations and his recently published book, and in the midst of planning new expeditions to the Polar Regions, he was found dead in the mountains of Hjerkinn, mid Norway. He was only 24 years old. Today, sadly, Astrup is little known outside the realm of Arctic historians. How and why did his disappearance from popular knowledge occur, and who was this shooting star in the polar world? This first book in English on Eivind Astrup tells the story of his short life in the Arctic. It contains many of Astrup's writings, his communications with Peary, excerpts from previously unpublished letters and reports, his Inuit dictionary, and more than 480 original photos, maps, and newspaper articles.

paperback. 2018 First Edition. 623pp, 624-1174pp, over 700 illusts, large format paperback on quality paper, New. Two Volumes, Vol I - 1900-1905, Vol II - 1905-1907. Signed by the editor, Geir Klover. Presenting Roald Amundsen s personal diaries in English from the Gjøa expedition was a big moment for the Fram Museum, but also an important contribution to the dissemination of Norwegian and international polar history. Amundsen writes with great enthusiasm about the enormous efforts he and his crew are making in dealing with scientific research and Amundsen s own studies of the Inuit. After reading the diaries we know so much about the expedition, about life aboard Gjøa and among the Inuit. Amundsen is generous in his descriptions of his comrades and treats all contact with, and all the information from, the inuit with great respect. In addition, he emerges as an unprecedented planner of an expedition through the Northwest Passage. After four hundred years of attempts to solve the puzzle of the Passage, his expedition took place exactly as he presented in his plan to the Norwegian Geographical Society in 1901, more than 18 months before his departure. These volumes are far more than a diary from Gjøa s journey through the Northwest Passage. The books cover a large portion of Roald Amundsen s life from 1900 to 1907. From Amundsen s own hand, included are his unabridged personal diaries from his studies on the Earth s magnetism in Hamburg in 1900, the takeover of Gjøa in Tromsø and the following hunting and research expedition in the Arctic in 1901. Furthermore, his personal letters to his brother Leon and his correspondence with his mentor Fridtjof Nansen are included, as are letters, newspaper clippings, and other documents related to the expedition, the celebration of the homecoming in 1906, and Amundsen s lecture tours at home and abroad. A fantastic publication. Glacier Books are experienced and professional booksellers. We take pride in offering carefully described books and excellent customer service.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'An extraordinary tale of derring-do told in a mesmerising new book via fascinating archive pictures - and worthy of a Hollywood movie too.' -- Daily Mail 'A new book showcasing them all is a fascinating read. The care and dedication that has gone into The Nansen Photographs is obvious.' -- Amateur Photographer. 'This epic tome, lovingly and painstakingly put together by Geir O Klover, director of the Fram Museum in Oslo, recounts this expedition using original photos and diary entries.' -- Black and White Photography In the late 19th century, the Norwegian Artic explorer Fridtjof Nansen undertook a pioneering expedition: he wanted to reach the North Pole with the specially designed ship Fram. The Nansen Photographs recounts this expedition, from the launch in 1890 through to the end of Nansen's international lecture tour in 1897, using original photographs alongside personal diary entries from Nansen and seven of his crew members. Together, they illustrate in a poignant and sometimes disconcerting way how the expedition members went about their daily lives and conducted their research, the conflicts they faced, and how they ultimately brought their daring undertaking to its successful conclusion. This book brings new life to previously known facts and introduces the reader to hundreds of previously unknown photographs from the expedition. The large format of the book brings the smaller details in the photographs to the forefront, providing new insight into the work and life on board, the equipment and the clothing. Opposing diary entries from Nansen and the men about the same situations show that life on board was not always easy and tell a gripping story of survival and the human condition. Nansen's lack of empathy and practical skills caused frustration among the men, and several of them resorted to fists to sort out their differences, but nonetheless they all pulled through and set a new standard for arctic expeditions to come. When Nansen leaves the ship for his legendary 18 month journey with Hjalmar Johansen towards the North Pole, we follow both Nansen and Johansen and the crew left on board through their photographs and diaries. The return to Norway and the spectacular celebration is told in detail through photographs, newspaper reports, speeches, menus and ephemera. This stunning 712-page book comes with an illustrated dustjacket and contains 850 photographs and illustrations, 35 ship drawings and 25 maps.

Oslo, Norway : Fram Museum, 2011. Quarto, illustrated wrappers, pp. 142, illustrated. 'Cold Recall combines the complete texts of Roald Amundsen?s lectures about his expeditions through the Northwest Passage and the South Pole with the original hand-coloured lantern slides he used to illustrate his lectures. Together they offer a unique insight into how Amundsen presented his expeditions when face to face with an international audience. They also provide the first pictorial account of his successful unlocking of the Northwest Passage and the expedition to the South Pole. Roald Amundsen?s lecture tours and the money he made from publishing rights for his written accounts and expeditions photos were a very important source of income for both his own ? and the expeditions?- finances. In order to settle his accounts and fund further expeditions, Amundsen spent a great deal of time negotiating the tours and preparing the lectures. After the expedition to the South Pole, he held more than 175 lectures in Great Britain and the USA alone.' - the publisher.
