Polar Journeys or Lee Wades Korean Cookery

Polar Journeys: The Role of Food and Nutrition in Early Exploration

Author: Robert Earl Feeney

Polar expeditions depend heavily on recent advances in food preservation, and the extreme conditions bring into sharp relief such dietary problems as insufficient vitamin C or an accidental overdose of vitamin A. In this history the author surveys current thinking about human nutrition and examines nutritional issues for future explorations, particularly in space.

Using his expertise in biochemistry, Feeney relates the history of polar exploration to the history of the science of nutrition. He discusses how advances in food preservation helped make possible human survival on the expeditions; problems caused by too large or small a supply of vitamins; the valuable lessons explorers learned from Eskimos; and the role of diet in space exploration.
