Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents valuable medical and anthropological observations based on a late hyperborean experience undertaken by the author. It offers remarkable insights into the physiological and pathological aspects of the human form in extreme Arctic conditions. The unique observations, recorded during the cruise of the revenue-cutter Corwin to Alaska and the Arctic Ocean, complement existing knowledge and contribute to a deeper understanding of the medical and anthropological experience of people living beyond the Arctic Circle. Beyond the trove of hard science data, the author's prose retains a human element, exploring the subjective sensations and experiences of the crew, and local populations they encountered, offering insight into their cultural norms. This book is a significant addition to the body of existing literature on survival and resilience in extreme climates. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
