Peter Schmidt Mikkelsen’s North-East Greenland is a comprehensive survey of life in the polar north of the Arctic. Based on unpublished diaries and personal interviews with trappers and other pioneers in the 1980s and 1990s, it illuminates the lonely, often dangerous, existence of individuals who built hundreds of small and primitive huts far from the comforts of civilisation.


The book features a comprehensive history of this fascinating wilderness as well as a detailed index, information and GPS locations of more than 300 remotely located huts. Colour and blac and white photographs of the landscape also offer an acute impression of life in one of the world’s most amazing landscapes. Mikkelsen’s book is an indispensable guide for all those planning to visit this part of the Arctic.
