This is an otherworldly place with no latitude and no longitude, a place where the sun rises and stays aloft for six months before setting, plunging the expanse of ice and water into darkness for half a year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLong before we ever journeyed to the North Pole, human beings have wondered what the northernmost point of our planet might be like. It became densely mythologised by writers, thinkers, historians and philosophers across civilisations. Perhaps it was the actual garden of Eden? Or the sunny land of the Hyperboreans, as Herodotus surmised? Only recently did we get to the North Pole – fending off scurvy, polar bears and frostbite – to report on its strange wonders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNorwegian adventurer, philosopher and acclaimed author Erling Kagge ventured to the North Pole in 1990. Blending memoir from that intrepid journey, along with history, philosophy and a stark warning about melting ice, comes a profound meditation about nature and our place within it.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe North Pole\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis for anyone who’s gazed out at the horizon – and wondered what happens if you keep walking.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42109907238978,"sku":null,"price":2199.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0263\/4884\/7170\/files\/81u7srrUH9L._SL1500.jpg?v=1745150369","url":"https:\/\/koolskoolbookstore.com\/products\/the-north-pole","provider":"KoolSkool The Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
