In this fascinating account, Josephine and Robert Peary describe their experiences spending a year in an Eskimo village in northwestern Greenland. Josephine, a trained educator, spends much of her time teaching English to the locals and observing their customs and culture, while Robert, a noted explorer, uses the opportunity to gather scientific data on the region. The book includes numerous illustrations and photographs, as well as Josephine's personal observations on the challenges and rewards of living in such a remote and challenging environment.
