In ''The Magnetic North'', Sara Wheeler documents her journeys around the Arctic regions of the globe. The book is the product of two years of smaller trips that add up to a circular, anti-clockwise voyage around the top of the inhabited world: from Siberia to Alaska, to Canada, to Greenland, to Spitsbergen, to Lapland and back to Russia, to the White Sea.
The book is part travelogue, part Arctic history, part scientific and political debate and part elegy to a fast changing region of the earth in the 21st century. Wheeler examines the allure of the Arctic and its hold on our imaginations, and encounters the people who live and work on the edge of the world in a book that tells of men eating boots, gulag ghosts and toxic polar bears…
