Young armchair adventurers can travel to the topmost point on the globe and learn all about the vast region surrounding the North Pole. It might seem lonely at the top of the world, but the North Pole is teeming with life! Polar bears, walruses, and arctic seals make their home on sea ice that can be nine feet thick while the Inuit and other indigenous peoples continue their traditions and means for survival in this harsh climate. Includes the early twentieth-century story of Robert Peary's quest to reach the exact spot of the North Pole.
