About This Book

An extended first-person account recounts an audacious polar expedition that exploits the gradual drift of pack ice to penetrate the polar basin, followed by a small-party march across the ice toward the pole, a perilous retreat to land, and an overwintering described in detail. The narrative blends dramatic travel episodes, including storms, sledging, and ice navigation, with systematic scientific observation, navigation charts, and reflections on the history and techniques of polar exploration. Emphasis falls on leadership, ingenuity, physical endurance, and the practical methods and instruments that extended knowledge of remote high latitudes.
