One hundred years ago a young man named Jan Welzl left his home in Europe and headed for the Far North. He rode off in a horsedrawn cart, traded the cart for a sled pulled by reindeer, and was gone for thirty years.

Inspired by the memoirs of this Czech folk hero, Peter Sis has re-created an extraordinary Arctic odyssey. Mixing fact with tall tale, he paints the fascinating story of a little-known explorer and the Inuit community members who became his teachers and friends. With maps, storyboards, panoramas, and even a myth told in pictographs, Peter Sis has concocted a visual feast.
