| Plot Summary of Frost on my Moustache: The Arctic Exploits of a Lord and a Loafer |
|---|
"In the 1990's journalist Tim Moore set out to retrace the 1856 journey of British Lord Dufferin to the Arctic regions. As opposed to Dufferin's adventure, Moore's journey was decidedly unromantic. He crossed the Atlantic to Iceland by freighter and was plagued by seasickness, crossed Iceland by mountain bike in the company of his much-fitter brother-in-law, visited Norway and flew to Spitsbergen, and managed to find humour in all his misadventures."
Jóhanna, Resident Scholar
