Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Two men put their determination and stamina to the test during 44 days of icy temperatures, freezing winds and physical exhaustion. As the first Finnish expedition to the South Pole, they skied unsupported and unassisted more than 1000 kilometres to the South Pole, their courage challenged every day. They had to believe in success. A century ago, the Amundsen and Scott expeditions fought their way through the white desert. Now, a century later, the same stormy goal still draws explorers. Reaching the South Pole, Kari Poppis Suomela joined the elite of polar explorers. Before him, only eleven others have skied to both the North and the South Pole without outside support. Text in English. 191 pp.

Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. Text in English and Finnish. 32 pp. Book in good condition. Released alongside an exhibition of the same name, held at the Ateneum Art Museum, Helsinki, on 2.6.-13.9.2015. Tapio Wirkkala (1915-1985) was a leading figure in modern Finnish applied art, and his glass, ceramic, wood and silver objects charmed international design circles in the 1950s and 1960s, while laying the foundation for the triumphs of Finnish design. The photography exhibition will feature eight well-known Finnish artists: Elina Brotherus, Kira Gluschkoff, Pirjo Honkasalo, Jorma Puranen, Matti Saanio, Pentti Sammallahti, Rauno Träskelin ja Sakari Viika. Each artist will create a new work from their own point of view. These perspectives add to the image we have of Tapio Wirkkala and his philosophy. The curator of the exhibition is the artist Maaria Wirkkala.
