Fleming, Fergus — Ninety Degrees North. The quest for the North Pole
2001 USA, softcover, 470 pages, with photos and maps. Fergus Fleming?s Ninety Degrees North is a vivid, often humorous account of the perilous and obsessive 19th- and early 20th?century quests to reach the North Pole, beginning with the doomed Franklin Expedition and ending with the disputed claims of Americans Frederick Cook and Robert Peary in 1909. Through gripping stories of endurance, folly, and national rivalry, Fleming portrays the Arctic explorers as both heroic and eccentric figures driven by ambition, myth, and the allure of the unknown.
