Ninety Degrees North: The Quest for the North Pole
by Fergus Fleming

The acclaimed author of "Barrow's Boys" and "Killing Dragons" relates the epic story of the men who stopped at nothing to unravel the mysteries of the North Pole. In scintillating detail he tells of the wing governments and fantastic eccentrics who, despite their heroic failures, often achieved massive celebrity as they battled to reach the top of the world.

"Fleming's remarkable account of the quest for the North Ple between the 1850's and 1926 picks up where his previous book, Barrow's Boys , about the British Admiralty's obsession with the Northwest Passage, left off; the two make up a sort of history of 19th-century Arctic exploration."
