Summary "The Great White North" by Helen S. Wright is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book covers the remarkable history of polar exploration, detailing the endeavors of early adventurers and explorers who sought to uncover the mysteries of the Arctic region. It focuses on the trials and tribulations faced by these explorers, emphasizing their bravery, resilience, and contributions to geographical and scientific knowledge. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces the excitement surrounding the successful discovery of the North Pole, which had eluded explorers for centuries. Wright recounts the thrilling adventures of early mariners like Pytheas and the Norsemen, along with influential figures such as the Cabots and Sir Humphrey Gilbert, who ventured into the icy, uncharted territories. Each story reveals not only the geographical achievements but also the personal sacrifices and sufferings endured by these adventurers in their relentless pursuit of knowledge and discovery.
