The Ultimate Cruise Passenger's Guide: DENMARK, ICELAND, GREENLAND

The Ultimate Cruise Passenger's Guide - DENMARK, FAROE IS., ICELAND, GREENLAND is a fully comprehensive, richly illustrated study of each country and its cruise ports of call. The author prefaces each country with an in-depth article studying the history, people and their culture. For instance, why Denmark is a 'nearly perfect nation'... how Vikings and volcanoes have affected the Icelandic people... and why more than 3,000 Viking settlers in Greenland simply disappeared. An expert on the Arctic regions and author of 'The Fourth World: The destruction of the Arctic and its Heritage', Hall digs deep into the history of the 6,000-year Inuit migration from Siberia to Greenland and explains not only how missionaries, whalers, trappers and traders destroyed the Inuit culture, but how the Danes and Americans during and after the Second World War dragged the Inuit from the Stone Age and cast them into the Space Age. After each introductory article, Hall then explores each port of call, looks at their history and evolution before listing the top sights to see and attractions to visit, and adding their opening times and admission prices in three currencies.
