Description

"THROUGH STORM AND ICE— My Expeditions with the DAGMAR AAEN" is the updated new edition of "NO JOURNEY IS TOO FAR—THE STORY OF THE DAGMAR AAEN," Arved Fuchs’s declaration of love for his special ship.

The legendary DAGMAR AAEN was the first ship to traverse both the Northeast and Northwest Passages. In total, the traditional wooden sailing ship—a so-called shark cutter—stood faithfully by Fuchs’s side on countless expeditions and research voyages, overwintered several times in the Arctic pack ice, and circumnavigated the entire North Pole. Hardly any other ship has weathered as many extreme situations—the kind that can push a sailing ship to its limits—as the DAGMAR AAEN.

Polar explorer Arved Fuchs has created a well-deserved tribute to his sturdy gem of Danish shipbuilding. He looks back with both awe and affection on their decades-long shared history on the oceans. A wonderful love story told through amusing anecdotes and expressive photographs.
