Set in 1949, this captivating narrative recounts Helge Ingstad's transformative nine-month experience with the Nunamiut people in Northern Alaska, where he became the first Westerner to immerse himself in their culture. Ingstad learned their language, documented their legends, and joined in traditional hunts. His deep admiration led to a mountain being named in his honor, which was later officially recognized in 2006. The book includes 45 photographs and 21 illustrations, offering a rich visual context to his unique journey and insights into the Nunamiut way of life.
