Summary:

"The Northern Sea Route, which connects the Atlantic to the Pacific along the coast of Siberia, is the shortest navigable route between Europe and Asia. A highly coveted passage...After their trip to the Deep South, Isabelle Autissier and Erik Orsenna explored this region of the world where, in a context of global warming, natural resources, trade routes and gigantic ports under construction whet appetites, while wildlife is the first victim. Because our future is also at stake at the North Pole."--Publisher's web site, accessed 12/12/2025, translated by web browser.
