Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Containing hundreds of illustrations his exploits are admirably recounted in this Rediscovery Books facsimile reprint and bear strong witness to the assistance that he gained from the 'Esquimaux'; in part due to his sympathetic attitude and handling of them. Having reached very far North by dint of actually manhandling their brig 'Advance' through the ice, they were forced to abandon her after enduring nearly two years trapped there, and their situation becoming desperate. There followed a trek across the frozen wastelands south to Upernavik - a journey of some eight hundred miles and approaching three months. Elisha Kane typifies the arctic explorer of this period and his feat in returning safely with nearly all of his comrades, and, with his journals and scientific notes being the only items to return with them, cannot but stir the imagination of all who read these volumes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of Barrow’s Boys offers a fascinating look at the exploration of the Arctic in the nineteenth century. Named a Best Book of the Year by the New York Times Book Review, the Seattle Times, Publishers Weekly, and Time In the nineteenth century, theories about the North Pole ran rampant. Was it an open sea? Was it a portal to new worlds within the globe? Or was it just a wilderness of ice? When Sir John Franklin disappeared in the Arctic in 1845, explorers decided it was time to find out. In scintillating detail, Ninety Degrees North tells of the vying governments (including the United States, Great Britain, Germany, and Austria-Hungary) and fantastic eccentrics (from Swedish balloonists to Italian aristocrats) who, despite their heroic failures, often achieved massive celebrity as they battled shipwreck, starvation, and sickness to reach the top of the world. Drawing on unpublished archives and long-forgotten journals, Fergus Fleming recounts this riveting saga of humankind’s search for the ultimate goal with consummate craftsmanship and wit. “Barely a page goes by without the loss of a crew member or a body part . . . Fleming [is] a marvelous teller of tales—and a superb thumbnail biographer.” —The Observer “A fable of men driven to extremes by the lust for knowledge as epic as a Greek myth.” —Time
