TRUE NORTH: TRAVELS IN ARCTIC EUROPE (THE CANONS) (PB)

Driven by a yearning to experience vast skies and frozen beauty, Gavin Francis goes in search of the peoples living along the northern limits of Europe. In Shetland, the Faroes, Iceland, Greenland, Svalbard and Lapland, he follows the historical traces of seafarers, warriors, monks and poets, and finds a way of life characterised by both peace and unease, threatened by climate change and the tense, ever-increasing importance of Arctic Europe in global power politics.
