In 1861 a struggling playwright from Nantes traveled to the wildest parts of Norway with two friends. The experience transformed him, opening his eyes to exotic adventures—and to a new mode of writing. The sole surviving chapter of his autobiographical work, completed at about the same time as he met his lifelong publisher and surely his most personal piece, brilliantly recounts his reasons for travelling and his preparations in a henceforth “suffocating” Paris. None of his subsequent masterpieces would have been possible without Verne’s Joyous Miseries.

"Farlig tomandsfærd" er et af den grønlandske histories mest eventyrlige afsnit. Bogen fortæller om en lille håndfuld mænds uforfærdede kamp for i årene 1909-12 at løfte resten af det slør, der endnu hvilede over Mylius-Erichsens, Høeg-Hagens og Jørgen Brønlunds sidste tragiske rejse under "Danmarks-ekspeditionen" 1906-08. Ekspeditionsleder og polarforsker Ejnar Mikkelsen har beskrevet nogle af de oplevelser, han og hans ekspeditionskammerat Iver Iversen kom ud for, da de ufrivilligt måtte tilbringe tre år i den nordøstgrønlandske ødemark.

Danish scientist Susanna Søberg leads us step by step into the icy water and explains the 'cold-shock response', the massive endorphin rush as our body reacts and adapts.
