In This Cold Heaven she combines the story of her travels with history and cultural anthropology to reveal a Greenland that few of us could otherwise imagine.Ehrlich unlocks the secrets of this severe land and those who live there; a hardy people who still travel by dogsled and kayak and prefer the mystical four months a year of endless darkness to the gentler summers without night. She discovers the twenty-three words the Inuit have for ice, befriends a polar bear hunter, and comes to agree with the great Danish-Inuit explorer Knud Rasmussen that all true wisdom is only to be found far from the dwellings of man, in great solitudes. This Cold Heaven is at once a thrilling adventure story and a meditation on the clarity of life at the extreme edge of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51959552147744,"sku":"NEW0679758526","price":18.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/this-cold-heaven-seven-seasons-in-greenland-0679758526","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
