Publisher Note
Montagne di Groenlandia. Monografia storico-esplorativa e geografico-alpinistica (Greenland mountains. Historical exploratory monograph e Geographical-mountaineering) by Mario Fantin contains 280 photographs, 39 sketches and maps.
This is the first actual book on the mountains of Greenland.
The publication is organized into three large bodies. The first introduces, simply but precisely, the Arctic island, not only in its physical aspects, but also with much other interesting information, such as its political administration and description of its native population. Part II deals extensively with the exploration of the mountains of Greenland up to and including 1968. Part III is the richer body of the text, with some 260 pages of writings by Italian and foreign explorers and mountaineers, translated from four languages. The work closes with a Greenland Eskimo vocabulary and grammar summary.
