Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a deep dive into the history of Arctic exploration, recounting daring voyages and the bravery of explorers from the 1500s to the 1870s. Drawing from first-hand accounts and careful research, the author traces the evolving efforts to venture beyond the known world and unlock the secrets of the vast, uncharted Arctic regions. The book is not merely a chronicle of expeditions; it also sheds light on the changing motivations and perspectives that have shaped our understanding of the Far North. Early explorers were driven by the desire for wealth and new trade routes; over time, their successors developed a thirst for scientific knowledge and a drive to conquer the unknown. The author argues that the Arctic has exerted a unique fascination on explorers, scientists, and the public alike. It has been a testing ground for human endurance, a source of valuable scientific data, and a symbol of the indomitable spirit of adventure. The book's detailed accounts of historic expeditions and the challenges faced by those who braved the Arctic's icy embrace bring these themes to life. This book is a comprehensive and engaging account of the exploration of the Arctic. It offers a unique blend of history, adventure, and analysis, and will captivate anyone interested in the history of exploration, the mysteries of the Arctic, and the human quest for knowledge and discovery. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - An eminent geographer, Clements Markham (1830-1916) had searched for Sir John Franklin in the Arctic as a young man in the Royal Navy. This stimulated his lifelong passion for the polar regions. Published in 1873, this historical review of Arctic exploration was based on extensive research at the Royal Geographical Society, of which Markham was then secretary and later president. The chapters include coverage of early explorers from the sixteenth century, the voyages of Barents and Hudson, Dutch and English whaling voyages around Spitsbergen, exploration of Greenland's east coast, expeditions into Baffin Bay and Smith Sound, Russian discoveries, and possibilities for scientific progress. A discussion of the best route for future British exploration is provided, with an appendix setting out the case for the expedition of 1875-6. Illustrated with a number of maps, Markham's book keenly sought to stimulate further polar exploration by his countrymen.
