The listing, Arctic Passages, by John Bockstoce (hardback) has ended.
Up for auction is a used in good condition hardback called "Arctic Passages--A Unique Small-Boat Voyage in the Great Northern Waterway." Publication was in 1991.
Brief synopsis:
"In 1988, John Bocstoce, Arctic historian and archaeologist, became the first person to traverse the Northwest Passage west to east in a small boat, fulfilling a life-long ambition. Arctic Passages is the extraordinary story of his voyages thirty-five hundred miles through this hemisphere's least explored and most dangerous waterway, from Bering Strait to Baffin Bay."
...."Traveling in an umiak, the traditional Eskimo walrus-hide canoe, he was at the mercy of the region's fierce summer storms, disorienting fogs, and debilitating cold, and in constant danger of being trapped by ice floes."
He traveled largely without the benefit of a working compass.
