About this book
Tundra in summer, snow-bound ground in winter and the people who live and travel in the far north fill this popular account of the polar regions. Dr. G. Hartwig describes the natural features of the Arctic and Antarctic, the effect of the long winter night and brief summer on plant and animal life, and men facing the climate as inhabitants or as explorers. The 1869 New York edition carries 163 illustrations and two chapters, on Alaska and the Innuits, added by the American editor.
