"In Northern Mists: Arctic Exploration in Early Times (Volume 1 of 2)" by Fridtjof Nansen is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the history of Arctic exploration, tracing the development of knowledge about the North from antiquity to the early Middle Ages. It examines not only the voyages made to these areas but also the myths and legends surrounding them, highlighting humanity's long-standing fascination with the unknown." "The opening of the book introduces the author's journey into the history of Arctic exploration, sparked by a promise to contribute to a series on geographical discovery. Nansen reflects on the complexity of this task, recognizing that the narratives surrounding early Arctic voyages are often riddled with inaccuracies and myths. He emphasizes the importance of relying on original sources and investigations rather than secondary accounts that may contain errors. This preface sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the various explorers, their motivations, and the often harsh realities they faced in their pursuit of knowledge about the Arctic regions."
