| Summary |
"Auf Schneeschuhen durch Grönland. Zweiter Band" by Fridtjof Nansen is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work details the author's exploration of Greenland's inland ice, recounting the challenges and experiences of his expedition team as they traverse this harsh and remote landscape. Nansen's narrative likely features the perspectives and experiences of his fellow explorers, highlighting both the physical challenges they face and the breathtaking beauty of the frozen terrain. The opening of the book sets the scene for this adventurous journey, with Nansen and his companions establishing their final camp on Greenland's east coast before venturing onto the inland ice. They are met with fog and the thrill of a new beginning as they prepare for their first foray into largely uncharted territory. Nansen describes a mix of exhilaration and apprehension as they navigate the complicated terrain, which is punctuated by treacherous snow-covered crevices. The camaraderie among the expedition members is palpable, as they share meals and support each other through the challenges they face while exploring the stunning yet intimidating ice landscape that stretches endlessly before them.
