Lines in the Ice investigates the allure of the North through topographical views, maps, explorers diaries, and historic photographs. Following the course of major journeys to the Arctic, including those of Martin Frobisher, Henry Hudson, and John Franklin, Philip Hatfield assesses the impact of these incursions on the Norths numerous indigenous communities and reveals the role of exploration in making the modern world. Besides detailing the areas vivid history, Lines in the Ice also focuses on beautiful works created over the last 500 years by people who live and travel in the Arctic.

A timely work that traces the pasts influence on the present day, Lines in the Ice showcases the rich visual history of Arctic exploration, indigenous cultural works, and the longstanding ways in which the North has captivated the public.
