Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Arctic Problem: And Narrative of the Peary Relief Expedition of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia The interest which at the present moment centres about Polar exploration is perhaps broad enough to permit of a few additional pages being added to the lengthening literature of the subject, even though they be wanting in a recital of those mishaps and hardships which have made Arctic rending so fascinating. In this belief the author offers the following pages, which are in the main a record of personal experiences in the North, and reflections upon the best method of attaining the object which has so long baffled the energies of the hardy explorer. A portion of the work has already appeared in narrative form in the pages of Scribner´s Magazine, and another portion is an amplification of an address delivered before the Geographical Club of Philadelphia. The author feels that the record of the Peary Relief Expedition would not be complete without a reference to the numerous helping hands which made the expedition possible, and permitted of the full accomplishment of its mission; - to all these he owes a no small debt of gratitude, and to all, without distinction by name, he expresses his acknowledgments.
