This first edition of “North to the Pole” by Will Steger offers a gripping account of the first unsupported dogsled journey to the North Pole. Published in 1987, just two years after Steger’s historic expedition, this volume captures the raw excitement and challenges of this daring Arctic adventure. Steger’s vivid prose transports readers to the frozen landscapes of the Arctic, where his team endured sub-zero temperatures, treacherous ice conditions, and the constant threat of polar bears. Beyond the thrilling narrative, this book provides valuable insights into the unique culture and traditions of Arctic indigenous communities, as well as the delicate ecological balance of the polar regions. Collectors will appreciate owning this first printing, which predates the widespread awareness of climate change and the rapidly melting Arctic ice cap. Despite its well-worn condition, this copy remains a testament to the enduring human spirit of exploration and the timeless allure of the great unknown.
