The Arctic Ocean has had an irresistible attraction for Norwegians for centuries. A cold and powerful wilderness that, with its overwhelming splendor and merciless nature, has lured generations of adventurers and trappers. Willing to challenge the unknown for a chance to survive. Or just to experience it. In flimsy craft or primitive winter huts, Norwegian trappers risked their lives for the dream of the great warp. The history of the Arctic Ocean is full of dramatic stories about those who wanted and dared, about curious adventurers and incredible daring. About those who succeeded and came home, some who only came home – and many who were left out there.
In this book, Gunnar Myklebust guides us through several hundred years of Norwegian seal hunting history, from the hunters in the Middle Ages to the international campaign that broke up Norwegian seal hunting. The book is equipped with many beautiful photographs and illustrations. The book has a list of all the ships that went to the Arctic Ocean.
