| Meer info | Near very good with some foxing and slightly dampstained in margin of frontispiece volume I. The account of a highly important journey to prove that a drift-current sets across the polar regions from the Bering Strait and the neighborhood of the New Siberia Islands towards the east coast of Greenland. Nansen's theory was based on a number of indications, not the least of which was the discovery of portions of the wreck of the "Jeannette" which had been lost off the New Siberia Islands in 1881, but which were found on drift ice off the south-west coast of Greeenland. His ship, the "Fram" was specially built of extraordinarily strong materials and of a design to be lifted by rather than crushed by the ice. The success of the theory, the expedition and the trek made northward over the ice on foot to a point farthest north is related in these two fine volumes. Added: The geographical journal, january 1893 with a.o. an article by Nansen, The Sketch 28-6-1893 article "BON VOYAGE TO DR. FRIDTJOF NANSEN", it features text and 4 photos from this upcoming Arctic expedition. |
