Nanuq - an arctic journey from past to future, Emanuele Licitra

In 1928, an Italian airship crashes onto the ice near the North Pole. No one survives. Ninety years later, a group of scientists in a sailboat follow the airship’s route from Iceland, via Greenland, to the Svalbard archipelago made possible by the retreating ice field. Along the way, they measure cosmic rays, plastic debris, the geomagnetic field, and climate change. —KH
