The author of the present volume "Eskimo Life," Fridtjof Nansen (1861-1930), was a Norwegian zoologist, polar explorer, diplomat, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate. In his role as a polar explorer, he was the first to cross Greenland via the ice sheet in 1888 and set a new record for the closest approach to the geographic North Pole on April 8, 1895, with a latitude of 86° 13.6' N during his North Pole expedition (1893-1896) alongside Fredrik Hjalmar Johansen. He revolutionized polar travel techniques, influencing all subsequent expeditions in the Arctic and Antarctic. In this volume, he presents the life and culture of the Eskimos in Greenland, illustrated with 28 black-and-white images. This is a reprint of the original edition from 1891.
