Young armchair adventurers can travel to the topmost point on the
globe and learn all about the vast region surrounding the North Pole.
From the #1 New York Times Best-Selling Who Was? series comes Where
Is?, a series that tells the stories of world-famous landmarks and
natural wonders and features a fold-out map!
It might seem lonely at the top of the world, but the North Pole is
teeming with life! Polar bears, walruses, and arctic seals make their
home on sea ice that can be nine feet thick while the Inuit and other
indigenous peoples continue their traditions and means for survival in
this harsh climate. Along with the early twentieth-century story of
Robert Peary's egomaniacal quest to reach the exact spot of the North
Pole, this is an exciting new addition to the Where Is? series.
