The thrilling story of the visionary Swedish explorer S. A. Andr?e, who in 1897, at the height of the heroic age of Arctic endeavor, attempted to discover the North Pole by flying over it in a hydrogen balloon.
?
The book opens in the last quarter of the nineteenth century, when nations vied for the greatest discoveries of the planet`s still unknown spaces, and newspapers followed every journey. It was also an age of scientific discovery, and Alec Wilkinson shows how these two cultural trends came together in the Swedish engineer S. A. Andr?e, leading him to launch perhaps the most daring assault on the North Pole ever made. Andr?e`s flight and the journey afterward are filled with suspense and adventure, a haunting story of high ambition and courage, made tangible with the detail, beauty, and devastating conditions of traveling and dwelling on the ice.
