Fridtjof Nansen (Author), Arthur G. Chater (Translator)
An account of the Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen's 1913 voyage to Siberia, traveling by carriage, on foot, and on the Trans-Siberian railroad; includes observations on the history and culture of the province and its peoples, from the Indigenous inhabitants to the Russian settlers beginning to colonize the region. Nansen also describes the natural beauty of the landscape and Siberia's vast natural resources, including timber, minerals, and fertile land, which he believed could be harnessed to fuel Russia's growth and development
