Les Expeditions Polaires Francaises

“This 3 CD boxset delivers a living history of the French Polar expeditions by three major characters in three different times of our scientific and cultural knowledge: Paul-Emile Victor (recorded in 1962, speaking about his late 1930’s travels), Robert Gessain (recorded in 1982) and Claude Lorius (recorded in 1982 and in 2006). These recordings were made by “Paroles, Images et sons”, who worked in the late 50ies to promote the oral knowledge. The questions are made by children, and recorded in their classroom, to mix together pedagogy and easy-to-understand answering by great scientists.” Claude Colombini FrEmeaux & Patrick FrEmeaux
