Call of the North: An Explorer's Journey to the North Pole Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the most remarkable Arctic book you can buy. It is physically huge! It is a coffee table book if you have big, robust coffee table. I have never seen so many full page and double page photos in a book before. It was produced in Italy, and the picture quality is astounding. Hundreds of images of the Inuit, their ice cave homes, hunting, dogs, Eskimo carvings, family life, etc.
Worth every penny!
Bravo! An amazing man, an amazing collection of his great images.

Enraptured by the Inuit way of life ever since he became the first Frenchman to reach the North Pole by dog sled in 1951, Jean Malaurie records for all time the disappearing traditions of the Inuits-in an enthralling photo-documentary that is also a terrific adventure story by one of the great explorers of our age.While leading more than 30 scientific expeditions from Greenland to Siberia, Malaurie has witnessed the changes thrust upon the Inuits as they have been wrenched from their traditional culture into the nuclear age. In riveting narrative and 300 color photographs of awesome landscapes, daily life in igloos, whale- hunting scenes, and shamanic rituals, he captures "the call of the north" that keeps drawing him to the polar world.300 photographs in full color, 336 pages, 10 x 13"
