The First Crossing of Greenland
What you need to know before your trail
This is said to be the account of the first successful polar expedition of Greenland which heralded a new era in exploration of these frozen lands. Some call the author Nansen, “A modern day viking” and this edition of his two journals merged into one volume might just go to show how accurate a description that is.
Travel Guide

Remember this was in the glory days of exploration but it seems as if this Viking of sorts could tell modern day travellers a thing or two.
