5.0 out of 5 starsContagious enthusiasm!
By Vilhelmina on May 31, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition
I attended a talk by the author of this book and instantly thought I needed to buy it. I was right. Bea Uusma is delightfully passionate about the Andrée expedition; a failed polar venture of the 19th century. And believe me, she will drag you into it too. You should let her. It's fascinating.

Immediately after finishing this (all in one day, as it was nigh impossible to pull away from) I handed it off to the next person I laid eyes on just so I would have someone to talk to about it. It’s that good. If I could give it six stars, I would.

5.0 out of 5 starsA love story in every sense of the word: mysterious, unavoidable, and timeless!
By Gerard Lebar on February 19, 2016
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I've never written anything on here before, because, frankly, I've never been compelled to. But after putting the finishing touches on "The Expedition" last night, I wanted to do my part in spreading the word of this gem of a tale.

I happened upon this book in large part due to its cover. It is beautiful, yet haunting; both a cry for help and a calm reassurance. The cover alone isn't worthy of our continued devotion though, the promise of love however, in my opinion, is. "The Expedition," for all its priceless imagery, unwavering investigation, and compelling mystery, is, at its core, a story of love. And if it does sweet justice to any one virtue, if not all, it is the ever-illusive love.

After having spent the last year of my life in northwestern Greenland, I understand - to some, small degree (as much as the comforts of modern technology allow) - the struggles of the Arctic, those that captivate the reader in this mystery throughout. Ms. Uusma does a fine job narrating a rather, evasively complex experience. Her commitment to truth is uncompromising. Although faced with great adversity in uncovering something many have given up on, she stops at nothing to ensure the reader has a luxury rarely afforded in journalistic pieces: all the facts. She allows no assumptions. Refuses the acceptance of half-truths or prevailing theories. She looks under every rock, into every cranny (literally and metaphorically). Her communion with the past is a rare achievement!

In the end, instead of being told how to think, she affords the reader the opportunity to relive the investigation for themselves. "How did they die?" is important. But this multilayered tale is much more than that. What they lived for is the matter at hand.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsStupid expedition, very fine book!
By Axel on December 14, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition
Artist Bea Uusma was bored on a feast and stole a book about the Andrèe expedition. Andrèe had the idea of flying with a hydrogen balloon to the North Pole. Bea became fascinated, and studied medicine beccause she wanted to solve the mystery of why all three of the expedition died. She hate to freeze but visit the Arctic region (including the North Pole) many times. Andrèe`s expedition must have been the most stupidly organized expedition ever and its members death on an isolated arctic island the result of it. But efter reading this book, you become as fascinated as Bea Uusma!
The book is also printed in a larger edition (only in Swedish) with more pictures.
