Letters from High Latitudes by Dufferin and Ava
"Letters from High Latitudes" by Lord Dufferin is a travel book written in 1856, recounting his voyage to Iceland, Jan Mayen, and Spitzbergen aboard the schooner Foam. Written as diary entries in the form of letters to his mother, the book captures adventures through volcanic plains, geysers, and Arctic islands with irreverent humor and lively wit. Its comic style made it extraordinarily successful, remaining in print for decades and translated into multiple
languages, establishing it as the prototype of the comic travelogue. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
