About this listen
A unique journey into the Arctic world, its myths and changes
Finland’s leading expert on Arctic affairs, Markku Heikkilä shares insights from 25 years of travel, from the northern parts of Canada to the Ob River and from Iceland to Alaska.
During his journeys, Heikkilä shatters myths and preconceptions about life in the Arctic. He highlights stories that few people know, such as the Last War of the Khanty People, Alaskan Sámi reindeer and the ballerina in Svalbard.
The book dives into landscapes and lives, some of which we are about to lose. It’s about more than our changing climate; the Arctic was once a shared space among different peoples, until the region was swept in a storm of global politics.
