Den berejste forfatter Lis Andersen havde egentlig ingen planer om at besøge Færøerne. Men skæbnen ville det anderledes, og i denne bog kan du læse hendes bjergtagende beretning om mødet med klippeøerne i det nordlige Atlanterhav, hvor beboerne kun kan føre deres planer ud i livet, hvis vejret tillader det ... Lis Andersen (1918-2001) var forfatter, globetrotter, fysioterapeut og naturterapeut. Som barn rejste hun rundt i verden med sin familie på sejlskibet Monsunen, og det lagde grunden for et langt livs rejselyst.

Knud Rasmussen er en af danmarkshistoriens største opdagelsesrejsende, og hans skildringer af ekspeditionerne til Grønland er blandt de bedste og mest spændende rejseskildringer. I denne samling af tre af hans største værker fortæller Knud Rasmussen blandt andet om sin deltagelse i "Den danske literære Grønlands-Ekspedition" i 1903-1904 samt ekspeditionen tværs over indlandsisen med Peter Freuchen i 1912-1913. Knud Rasmussen (1878-1933) var en dansk-grønlandsk polarforsker.

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.

Born of fire and ice, fantastic landscapes of barren volcanic rocks emerged lunar landscapes to lush green valleys. Blue glittering glacier, Europe's largest Waterfall (Dettifoss) and geysers are just as much a part of this island as the warmth of the resident.

Aus Feuer und Eis geboren entstanden fantastische Landschaften von kargen vulkanischen Mondlandschaften bis zu üppig grünen Tälern. Blauglitzernde Gletscher, Europas größter Wasserfall (Dettifoss) und Geysire gehören ebenso zu dieser Insel wie die Herzlichkeit der Bewohner.

"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.

Whether in lake, lido, river or sea, we know the benefits of swimming outdoors and in nature—environmentally friendly and accessible, it can influence our happiness, our energy and our inner tranquillity. Winter Swimming takes this one step further, as contact with cold water all year round can also have a significant positive impact on our physical health, confidence and well-being. 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.

In March 2019, the Viking Sky cruise ship was struck by a bomb cyclone in the North Atlantic. Rocked by 50-foot swells and 40-knot gales, the ship lost power and began to drift straight toward the notoriously dangerous Hustadvika coast in Norway. This is the suspenseful, harrowing, funny, touching story by one passenger who contemplated death aboard that ship.

Are Kalvø è cresciuto in un paesino da fiaba nel Nordovest della Norvegia, circondato da fiordi e montagne e visitato da milioni di persone provenienti da tutto il mondo. Eppure lui non è un uomo da "aria aperta»" e, una volta trasferitosi in città, non si è più guardato indietro. Ma questo non è mai stato un problema. Almeno fino a qualche anno fa, quando si è ritrovato senza più un amico perché andavano tutti in gita tra i monti, come ogni buon scandinavo che si rispetti.
