The Polar World: The Unique Vision of Sir Wally Herbert

One of the last explorers of the Heroic Age, Sir Wally Herbert spent 50 years retracing the routes of the pioneers in both Arctic and Antarctic. The Polar World includes memoirs of his experiences, with insights into the polar wilds which he learned both from the explorers he knew personally and from his regular travels with the Polar Inuit of Northwest Greenland. These reminiscences are complemented by many of Herbert's own paintings of polar landscapes and fellow-adventurers.
