Polarkreis Sud, Polarkreis Nord

Kircheisz, Kapitan: 1933 Leipzig, hardcover, 300 pages, illustrated. Polarkreis Süd – Polarkreis Nord follows German captain Carl Kircheiß on perilous whaling and “souls-catching” voyages that circle both Americas from the Antarctic to the Arctic, blending firsthand seafaring adventure with snapshots of polar nature and maritime labor in the early 20th century. The book, published by Koehler in 1933, frames life aboard as a rugged continuum of ice, storms, and pursuit—offering an episodic travelogue of high latitudes anchored in the author’s professional experience as a world‑sailing whaler and polar explorer.
