Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from From Franklin to Nansen, Tales of Arctic Adventure, Retold While stories of the Arctic explorers and their efforts to reach the North Pole have been told again and again, the constant renewal of expeditions adds every year fresh incidents to the record, until it may almost be said that the fascination of the frozen North is as inexhaustible as the list of Polar heroes is illimitable. Nor is the interest confined solely to the achievement of modern explorers. However great the results of their exertions may be, the fact that, in spite of all the advantages conferred by recent scientific discovery and modern appliances, the explorers of to-day have failed to penetrate the uttermost secret of the world of ice, renders more impressively heroic the struggles of the earlier travellers whose equipment, viewed in comparison with that of modem man, was apparently so inadequate and often inappropriate. No series of Polar adventure stories would be complete without a prominent place being given to the earlier explorers and especially to that British hero, Franklin, whose name is so inseparably associated with the history of Arctic exploration.
