About this book

What began as a promised volume on the history of arctic voyages grew, in Fridtjof Nansen's hands, into a study of how people in early times came to know the North. He traces how ideas of the northern world changed from age to age and how old myths kept returning in new shapes, working from the original sources instead of repeating earlier authors. The book stops before the arctic voyages proper. Arthur G. Chater translated this first of two volumes, issued in London in 1911.
