MIKKELSEN, Ejnar. Two Against the Ice … Translated from the Danish by Maurice Michael. London, Rupert Hart-Davis, [1955].

8vo. Original boards with illustrated dust-wrappers (not price-clipped); pp. 224, sketch map and plates after photographs; very light rubbing to the rarely seen wrappers, minimal offsetting from endpapers, otherwise remarkably clean and fresh.

First edition in English (and not the Travel Book Club edition) of a classic tale of survival by an unheralded but important figure in the history of Arctic exploration. 'In 1910 he [Mikkelsen] decided to search for the diaries of the ill-fated Mylius-Erichsen expedition, which had set out to prove that Robert Peary’s outline of the East Greenland coast was a myth, erroneous and presumably self-serving. Iver Iversen was a mechanic who joined Mikkelsen in Iceland when the expedition’s boat needed repair. Several months later, Mikkelsen and Iversen embarked on a journey during which they would suffer virtually every travail in the Arctic repertoire: implacable cold, scurvy, starvation, frostbite, snow blindness, plunges into icy seawater, Sisyphean sledging conditions, Vitamin A poisoning, debilitated dogs, apocalyptic storms, gaping crevasses, and assorted mortifications of the flesh. Mikkelsen’s diary was eaten by a bear. Three years of this, coupled with seemingly no hope of rescue, would drive most crazy, yet the two retained both their sanity and their humor. Indeed, what may have saved them was their refusal to become as desolate as their surroundings' (blurb of the first US edition of 2003).

Sleek and mostly simple assembly and use
Size: 7.5 Inches - 2 Packs
I put the parts through the wash to sterilize them before using them. I think this introduced moisture into the grinding unit, which initially affected the grinding so that both the pepper and salt were coming out 'chunky'. I disassembled them and let them thoroughly dry. They are working great now after using them a few times.

A Perfect Gift For Someone Who is Tough To Buy For
Size: 5.3 Inches - 2 Packs with Holder
Very attractive looks and quality build. Most importantly the salt grinder will take sea salt down to powder for popcorn (a make-or-break feature in my house). It doesn't take up much room in the cabinet when stored and very easy to fill. We're just delighted with the value for the money. Any time you are stuck with what to get someone for a birthday, xmas, what ever; you can't go wrong with this Salt & Pepper Grinder Set.

It works but it's not high quality
Size: 5.3 Inches - 1 Pack
Grinder works well except the silver part came loose after using it a couple of times now we have to hold the top part really tight to use it probably should have returned it but it still works

Good Salt Grinder
Size: 5.3 Inches - 1 Pack
Bought this for the pink salt. It crushes it nicely and is easy to fill. The crushing didn't change the taste and this holds a considerable amount of sale. It's a great value for the money and would make a terrific gift.
