| Summary | "Auf Schneeschuhen durch Grönland. Erster Band" by Fridtjof Nansen is a travelogue and exploration narrative written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles Nansen's ambitious plan to traverse Greenland on snowshoes, detailing not only the physical journey but also the motivations, preparations, and challenges that accompany such an endeavor. It provides an immersive glimpse into the Arctic exploration of the time, showcasing Nansen's determination and the nuances of polar travel. At the start of the narrative, Nansen reflects on his initial encounter with the Greenlandic coast aboard a seal-hunting ship in 1882, during which he became enamored with the untamed beauty and mystery of the land. After contemplating various logistical challenges, he formulates an audacious plan to traverse Greenland starting from the East Coast to reach the more civilized West. The opening sets the stage for the expedition, introduces his motivations, and hints at the complexities of both the environment and the human endeavor he is about to undertake, laying a foundation for the detailed preparation and subsequent adventures that will follow in the journey.
