Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a historic account of the remarkable 1890 summer expedition undertaken by Reverend Canon Norman in the East Finmark region of Norway. The region, far into the Arctic Circle, was little known at the time, and the author's fascinating narrative brings to life his journey, the research methods of his time, and the social history of the region's inhabitants. A keen observer of the natural world, Canon Norman's primary focus was the marine life in the fjords and coastal waters. He meticulously recorded and identified hundreds of species, many new to science or never seen so far north. His detailed notes on the region's sea fauna and his vivid descriptions of the people, their culture, and the landscapes of the Norwegian Arctic make this book an invaluable resource for scientists, historians, adventurers, and anyone interested in the exploration and study of Earth's most extreme environments.
