Accompany Javier Reverte on a fascinating journey to the Arctic, exploring the last pristine territories on the planet. In the summer of 2007, the author embarked on a Russian oceanographic vessel, becoming one of the first to cross the Northwest Passage after the ice opened up. Over thirteen days, Reverte witnessed the harshness of the ocean and the harsh living conditions of the inhabitants of the boreal regions. From Ottawa to Edmonton, the author describes the landscapes and people, interweaving his experience with the history of past explorations, such as those of John Franklin and Roald Amundsen. This book is a portrait of a region in transformation due to climate change, with significant political, economic, and environmental consequences.
Spanish novelist, travel writer and journalist (1944–2020)
