Summary |
"A young Danish doctor went to live with an isolated group of Polar Eskimos in Thule, Greenland. He took his new wife along. He was responsible for the entire medical care of the community where only one ship arrived per year. He describes adventures while ministering to the people, the long journeys over ice, of seal and walrus hunts, of expeditions by dog-sleigh, and of Eskimo character and custom." (from amazon.com) |
