In 1912, one year after Roald Amundsen’s successful polar expedition, the naturalist Alfred Wegener, first proposed his theory of continental drift. But it was to take a long time before the theory was eventually recognised in the 1960s. In this adventure novel, Jo Lendle portrays the life of Wegener who died in Greenland in 1930 while on his fourth journey to the country.
