Arctic Adventure: My Life in the Frozen North
Peter Freuchen had a life of remarkable adventure. He lived in Greenland, 800 miles from the North Pole, for fifteen years, adopted native ways of life, married an Inuit woman, and had two children.

In Arctic Adventure he writes of seal and polar bear hunts; surviving starvation; meeting people who'd resorted to cannibalism; and of the moving experience of seeing the sun after three months of winter darkness. Freuchen's warmth, wit, and literary talent make this book stand out; it is a rich human saga. (6 x 9, 432 pages, b&w photos)

Peter Freuchen (1886-1957), born in Denmark, was a close friend of Arctic legend Knud Rasmussen and accompanied him on several expeditions.

Gretel Ehrlich is the author of This Cold Heaven and A Match to the Heart, among other works.
