About This Book

A concise survey of Arctic exploration that follows successive routes and regions around the North, offering descriptive accounts of areas including Spitsbergen, Novaya Zemlya, Franz Josef Land, Cape Chelyuskin, the Lena Delta, the Bering Strait, the North American Arctic and Greenland. It chronicles voyages and overland movements, the hazards of ice and weather, navigation and survival techniques, and encounters with indigenous peoples and wildlife. Topical chapters are illustrated with maps, sketches, and plates, and together they trace methods of exploration, notable discoveries, and the steady advance of voyagers toward higher latitudes.
