A Woman in the Polar Night

By artist and writer Christiane Ritter, inspired by the museum’s exhibition Arctic Voices.

This classic memoir, beautifully translated from German by Jane Degras, chronicles Ritter’s profound journey of resilience and self-discovery during a year spent in the Arctic wilderness. Ahead of its time and imbued with poetic insight, Ritter’s story is an adventure of a lifetime that captures the spirit of freedom and fulfillment.
