| Summary | "The Polar World" by G. Hartwig is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book offers an exploration of the Arctic and Antarctic regions, detailing the unique natural features, the challenges of life in extreme climates, and the interaction between humans and their harsh surroundings. It aims to present solid information in a manner that is both engaging and educational. The opening of the book introduces readers to the frigid landscapes of the Arctic, focusing on the tundra's desolate beauty contrasted with its vibrant summer life. Hartwig describes the vegetation and wildlife, such as reindeer and migratory birds, that inhabit this extreme environment, alongside the harsh realities of a long, cold winter, which fosters a struggle for survival.
