Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. The North preserved its secrets for long. The ancient Greeks called the remote and extreme north 'Thule'. The Arctic zone was the last on earth for man to explore and chart. Ultima Thule narrates the 2500 year long history of explorations of the northern areas from Pytheas to Peary, from antiquity through the Vikings and the great journeys of exploration to the conquest of the North Pole. The unknown North is described through the daring adventures of such early sailors as Erik the Red, Barents and Bering or explorers of the wilds like Chelyuskin and Franklin. The journeys of the great scientific explorers - Cook, Nordenskiöld and Amudsen - remind the reader of the bravery of those who set their sights towards the uncharted North. With 260 unique illustrations of excellent quality, Ultima Thule - Arctic Explorations provides an indispensable survey and source of information on the discovering of the extreme North. Ultima Thule also recounts the history of northern cartography and navigation; how the mythical north gradually took shape on maps, to become part of the European world picture. For the first time this book studies broadly - with the aid of unpublished drawings and charts - Arctic expeditions from both East and West. Richly illustrated book published alongside the exhibition in Tennis Palace, Helsinki on 17.10.2001-30.3.2002. Text in English. 349 pp.…

Add to basket352 S., ca. 270 farbige Abbildungen. 4° Kart.mS: Der Prachtband gewährt einen einzigartigen Einblick in die Erforschung der Arktis: von Pytheas, dem antiken Pionier, über die wagemutigen Wikinger bis hin zu den großen Entdeckungsreisen in der Frühen Neuzeit und dem Wettlauf zum Nordpol zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts. Lange Zeit ist es dem äußersten Norden Europas gelungen, seine Geheimnisse zu bewahren. Die unzugängliche Arktis war eine der letzten noch nicht vom Menschen erforschten und auf Karten verzeichneten Regionen der Erde. Lainema und Nurminen erzählen die dramatische Geschichte von Männern, die vielen Widrigkeiten trotzten, um ihr Ziel zu erreichen. Kühne Seefahrer und Abenteurer wie Erik der Rote, Barents und Bering haben den unbekannten Norden beschrieben. Die Erzählungen der Walfänger und Kauffahrer, die auf der Suche nach einer Route in den Fernen Osten waren, haben zum legendären Ruf des mysteriösen »Ultima Thule« beigetragen. Wagemutige Entdecker wie James Cook, Nordenskiiöld, Amundsen und andere erforschten auf ihren Reisen die Besonderheit der Arktis. Mit Hilfe bisher unveröffentlichter Karten und Grafi ken gewährt dieser Band auch einen Einblick in die Kartografie- und Navigationsgeschichte der Arktis. Er zeigt, wie der mystische Norden auf den ersten Karten allmählich Form annahm und damit Teil der europäischen Welt wurde. Sprache: Deutsch 1500 gr.…
