| Summary | "Briefe aus dem hohen Norden" by Elias Haffter is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the author's journey aboard the HAPAG steamship "Auguste Viktoria" to Spitzbergen in July 1899, providing insights into the breathtaking landscapes of Norway and the Arctic, as well as the experiences encountered along the way. The narrative is structured around letters the author sent back home, which are a blend of personal reflections and descriptions of the voyage's highlights and challenges. At the start of the narrative, the author sets the scene aboard the ship before embarking on their adventure. He describes the ship, the diverse group of passengers, and the initial leg of the journey along the stunning Norwegian coastline. The beauty of the Hardangerfjord, with its steep mountain walls and impressive glaciers, is vividly portrayed. Haffter's writing captures both the natural splendor of the surroundings and the engaging atmosphere among the passengers as they eagerly anticipate their destination, setting the tone for a captivating exploration of the North.
