Reviews
This book is, quite literally, a moving journey through time. . . The book's 246 duotone photos include scenes of Inuit families, shipboard life and the rugged, stark, but hauntingly beautiful arctic landscapes., GIllis and Ayer have edited the diaries of their great grandfather[s]. . . who led the 1901 relief expedition to Greenland. The photographs they took of the magnificent landscape, remote ports, and Inuit people wearing the handknit sweaters of their Danish rulers fill this handsome volume., For anyone with specific or even general interest in Arctic exploration history, Boreal Tiesis an important addition to the library. The photographs alone are worth the purchase price.

    Very happy with this purchase and seller, not least for the condition of the book and the robust packaging. One relatively minor quibble - not the fault or responsibility of the seller - is with DHL and their Australian affiliate, Aramex, the former whom seemingly sent this item around most of America before finally dispatching the item to Australia. Aramex were also tardy not least in updating the tracking advice in a timely manner. However, alls well that ends well. Cheers.
