It's a massive coffee table book full of the expected excellent photography; but also a good deal of text looking at Inuit society; customs; and culture with the constant backdrop of the harsh Arctic climate. A beautiful book with content.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. I was delighted to find my own copyBy TrishThis is a gorgeous book.

Nordic Life and Expedtions to GreenlandBy Olga R. Diaz-croomThank you for sending this very large and heavy book my way. Recently I spent time in Norway with a man who takes expeditions to the North Pole and who visits Greenland frequently as part of his work and for his enjoyment. I could not imagine what the lure was but after looking through the expeditions; history; and people of this area I can see his fascination. I did not understand how many expeditions and adventures there are to be had in the area but now I understand. I mostly enjoyed the pictures. Thank you for getting the book to me.
