Svalbard – An adventurous polar life by Kjell Reidar Hovelsrud
Read about Hovelsrud's experiences from Svalbard – as an expedition leader, trapper, station manager and tour operator. is well worth sharing. He tells about dramatic situations with polar bears, dangerous journeys with dogs and sleds, daring sea voyages to Svalbard and deadly cold and storms. But also about the challenge of living on a barren but rich land up there in the north – in interaction with nature. And about people: The challenge of functioning together during a wintering in cold and total darkness, and the joy of friendship and helpfulness. And the book tells about the sled dogs, about the wildlife and nature in general. A great copy.
