This book was a fascinating look into the adventure to the North Pole. This is just a reading of his extensive journal. The interactions with the crew, and Eskimos were very interesting with both respect for their skills yet subtle treatment as an inferior race. The casualness which they talk about walking and even playing in -20 degree temps just made me feel cold.
