In the summer of 1912, four young scientists sledded across 640km of untracked snow and ice, crossing central Greenland from west to east for the first time. This minor classic of exploration literature by the expedition's leader, Alfred de Quervain, is a sympathetic portrayal of life in remote coastal settlements in the early twentieth century.
