    Title ACROSS GREENLAND IN NANSEN'S TRACK.

    Description 1st UK Edition; 144pp, illustrated, 30b/w photographs, 1 map. Blue cloth covers with white husky dog head design to front cover and white titling to spine in illustrated price clipped dustjacket. From the front jacket flap: "In 1888 Nansen crossed it [Greenland] from east to west with a single Lappland companion. Last year, fired by his account of the trip and their own adventurous nature, two young Norwegians decided to repeat the journey. With modern equipment they imagined it would be litt le more than an extended ski-trip. But in fact they only just survived, with little to spare in food or energy, and with only one of their sixteen huskies left. They set themselves a challenge and responded with spirit to its hazards and hardships. The story of their exploit is told here by its leader, Bjorn Staib, and illustrated with photographs by his companion, Bjorn Reese". Shelfware, dustjacket tatty, spine faded where dustjacket has a hole. Minor spotting to page edges, contents clean. Very Good.
