Description: Over 100 years ago, in June 1898, Captain Otto Sverdrup and 15 crewmen put out to sea aboard the schooner “Fram” from the Norwegian city today known as Oslo. When they returned to Norway four years later, they came back with a record of geographic and scientific discovery, the richness of which is unparalleled in the annals of Arctic exploration. The first section of this book is the story of those four heroic years spent in the High Arctic and their impact on Canada´s subsequent efforts to ensure Canadian sovereignty in the area of the Norwegian discoveries.
The second section of the book deals with the Canadian Arctic expeditions between 1903 and 1948, led by men such as Albert Low, Joseph E. Bernier, Vilhjalmur Stefansson, and Henry Larsen.
