Greenland to carry out a two-year plan of scientific research there and on the northern part of the Greenland ice sheet.  … Here and in the field the scientists had to learn to carry out research in places not only devoid of amenities such as running water and a mains power supply … but they had also to work in difficult, uncomfortable, and sometimes dangerous circumstances. … in this book the scientists describe their work and tell the story of how it was done and of any adventures that occurred while doing it.’ (from verso of front wrap)
