Dry but information you won't find elsewhere
"This book was published in 1958. It contains 12 chapters, one for each month of the year, starting with January and ending with December. In each chapter the authors explain what "happens" in the Arctic during that month: what happens to the winds, waves, water, ice, the plants, the animals, and so on. Maps and line drawings accompany each chapter. I found the book very informative for what the Arctic year was like 50 years ago. With global warming, I'm not sure this book would be accurate today. Still, it's very worth reading or consulting."
