"A frozen, pocket-sized island in the Canadian Arctic holds the secrets to England's first attempts at colonizing the New World. On this Meta Incognita - or Unknown Shore - as Queen Elizabeth I called it, England made its first major efforts at western exploration and settlement. In Unknown Shore, author Robert Ruby uncovers the history of Meta Incognita in a story teeming with rich characters and even more fantastical dreams.".

"Unknown Shore is the story of two men's travels and what these men shared three centuries apart. Ultimately it is a tale of men driven by greed and ambition, of the hard labor of exploration, of the Inuit and their land, and of great gambles gone wrong."--BOOK JACKET.
