Illustrated by
Frédéric Malenfer.
Photographs by
Francis Latreille.
Latreille's striking but not optimally reproduced photographs of the Arctic are the centerpiece of this book. Each double-page spread features a large photo and several paragraphs of haphazardly arranged topics that range from explanations of ice features and formations to practices and customs of modern Arctic peoples to animals found in the region. A helpful map is appended.
