Reviews 

Fyens Stifttidende 

"They have made a beautiful book. But first and foremost, they have written a book packed with information. The reader learns about the history behind the Arctic and Antarctic. It delves into the geological, the historical, and the many dramas that unfolded as man tried to reach the poles - the story of the present - and of animal and plant life in the Earth’s polar regions. And, it is all accompanied by a plethora of lovely photographs. "
