«Mission banquise» is the account of the Arctic expedition of Jean-Louis Étienne and Francis Latreille, published by Seuil in paperback (169 pages, in French).
On 11 April 2002, Jean-Louis Étienne was set down at the North Pole aboard the Polar Observer habitat, built to drift over the ice floe. His expedition diary, with maps and photographs, recounts the Arctic drift, highlights the loss of ice in the northern hemisphere, and shows the role of that region in climate balance.
For readers interested in polar exploration and in popular science on climate change.
Jean-Louis Étienne is a French doctor, explorer and scientist. He is well known for his Arctic explorations, where he was the first man to reach the North Pole alone in 1986, and his Antarctic explorations, including the famous 1990 International Trans-Antarctica Expedition.
