Greenland's Farthest North in Greenlandic, Avannaarsua, is one of the last wildernesses on Earth. North of latitude 78 degrees and larger than Sweden, this vast fjord and mountainous region is bordered by the immense Inland Ice on one side and the Arctic Ocean with its drifting ice on the other. Situated beyond indigenous habitation, few people have witnessed its magnificent scenery. This pictorial book takes the reader on a journey through Avannaarsuas diversified geology and landscapes and tells how the dramatic scenery was formed and sculptured by wind, water, ice and frost. It is a journey on which the reader will experience the world's northernmost mountains and plateaux, canyons and lakes, ice caps and glaciers, stony deserts and sand dunes, dusty plains and verdant valleys, all interlaced with ice-choked fjords fringed by towering cliffs. And as a bonus, the hardy animals and plants are presented in their natural habitats. The authors have been inspired by music in their portrait of Avannaarsua leading to a symphonic composition with five interlocking movements and 16 themes. They have searched the musical annals to discover the terms that best fit the melodramas epitomised by the ever-changing landscapes and seascapes. The book is aimed at those who are interested in geology, natural history and pristine scenery, as well as all those who cannot get enough of the unique beauty of the Arctics snow- and ice-clad nature. The images of the High Arctic landscapes presented in this book should provide long-lasting enlightenment. Taschenbuch, 12.12.2017.
