The book explores the arduous history of Arctic explorations from ancient times to the author's contemporary era, specifically focusing on significant expeditions aimed at discovering the North Pole, the Northwest Passage, and the Northeast Passage. It discusses the various national efforts made across centuries by explorers from England, the Netherlands, Russia, and other nations to chart these treacherous waters. The opening of the text presents a comprehensive introduction to the major historical questions surrounding Arctic exploration, particularly the Northeast Passage, which connects the Atlantic to the Pacific along the northern coast of Siberia. Stuxberg outlines the immense challenges faced by these explorers and indicates that despite many failed attempts, advances in geography and navigation have fueled continued interest in these regions. He introduces key figures such as Sebastian Cabot and discusses their early 16th-century expeditions that laid the groundwork for future Arctic explorations, emphasizing the evolving understanding of these maritime routes over time.
