Originally published in 1931, this early work on exploration is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It contains Nansen s account of his expedition through the Caucasus and is a fascinating work thoroughly recommended for anyone with an interest in the history of exploration. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork."
