The Ice Museum: In Search of the Lost Land of Thule by Joanna Kavenna

5.0

Part travel narrative, part history book, part memoir. I learned so much about the Atlantis of the North and about the geography and history of the north. The book is poetically written and wastes few words. My only complaint is with the crafting of the final chapter. By making the conclusion themed around Svaldbard, Kavenna spent more time wrapping up the book than describing the Svalbard landscape, and I would have liked to read more about it.
