Across Greenland's Ice Cap: The Remarkable Swiss Scientific Expedition of 1912
Alfred de Quervain, Martin Hood, Martin Lüthi, Andreas VieliHow four young scientists from Zurich made the first west-to-east crossing of Greenland’s ice cap in 1912.
In the summer of 1912, four young scientists sledded across 640km of untracked snow and ice, crossing central Greenland from west to east for the first time. This minor classic of exploration literature by the expedition’s leader, Alfred de Quervain, is a sympathetic portrayal of life in remote coastal settlements in the early twentieth century.
