In the first chapter, Leacock describes his journey to the Arctic and the challenges he faced in getting there. He also provides a brief history of the region and its people. Subsequent chapters focus on various topics such as the wildlife of the Arctic, the indigenous people who live there, and the harsh conditions that make life in the region so challenging.
