Title: Polar Bridge: An Arctic Odyssey
Description: Toronto, Key Porter Books Limited, 1990. Hardcover. Small 4to. Blue paper over boards with gilt spine lettering, pictorial dust jacket. 213pp. Map, color illustrations. Fine/fine. Perfect and pristine first edition of this day-by-day journal chronicling the daring 1988 Canadian/Soviet three-month ski journey from Siberia to the polar cap on Ellesmere Island. One of the four Canadians, clergyman-turned-explorer Laurie Dexter, handsomely inscribes and signs the half-title page in blue ballpoint to a couple who actually experienced an Arctic trek: "For Bob and Ibby / In memory of special / shared experiences in the / far North, and with best / wishes for good health and / safety across many 'Bridges' / ahead. / The Northwest Passage / August 12, 2000 / Laurie Dexter." Robert Malott (1926-2018) was a noted Chicago business leader, CEO of FMC Corporation, Republican politico and philanthropist -- as well as avid amateur explorer. An exceptional copy. .
