Abstract
WHEN Dr. Nansen reached the west coast of Greenland, after his memorable journey across the continent, he found that the last ship of the year had left for Europe, although he had altered his plans and steered for Godthaab instead of the more northerly Christianshaab, partly in order to avoid being detained in the country during the winter. He was, however, compelled to spend the winter among the Eskimos, and his observations and reflections on the character and everyday life of the race are embodied in the book before us.
