In an adventure of a lifetime, Alexander Armstrong heads north into an ever more hostile Arctic winter to explore the farthest reaches of the globe. In an epic journey, he navigates some of the Earth's toughest terrain, first travelling through the glittering landscape of Scandinavia then on to the isolated islands of Iceland and Greenland, as far as the infamously treacherous Northwest Passage.

Iceland is home to only 330,000 people but more than 265 museums and public collections, ranging from the intensely physical, like the Icelandic Phallological Museum, which collects the penises of every mammal known to exist in Iceland, to the vaporously metaphysical, like the Museum of Icelandic Sorcery and Witchcraft, which poses a particularly Icelandic problem: how to display what can't be seen?

Within the walls, the ceiling and the floor of the cottage and its surrounding garden, she encounters a host of animals—ants, honey bees, foxes, squirrels, blackbirds, badgers, pigeons, deer and many more—all of whom have made her house and garden their home and all of whom cause Nina to reflect on their role within our world.

"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.

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.
