“Mikkelsen's description of his 2,500-mile journey in Mirage in the Arctic has a rollicking, novelistic quality: now our hero has a hairsbreadth escape from a rising tide, now he's entrusted with a $40,000 bag of gold, now he finds the frozen corpses of some prospectors, and now he meets a proverbial pistol-packin' mama. Such incidents almost make you forget that his epic trip was scarcely less demanding than a traverse of the Greenland Ice Cap or a crossing of the Sahara. His devil-may-care attitude toward danger suggests an Indiana Jones of the Arctic. And like his Hollywood counterpart. Mikkelsen felt most at home when he was farthest from home.”
