Download or read book To the South Polar Regions written by Louis Bernacchi and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-01-19 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from To the South Polar Regions: Expedition of 1898-1900 IN the following pages an attempt has been made to give an account of the cruise of the ship Scat/zen: Cross to the South Polar Seas, and of the first winter ever spent on Antarctic shores. The aim of this book is to present to the general reader a simple account of our experiences and of the phenomena witnessed in those little-known regions. The recorded minutiae of monotonous months have been, as far as possible, avoided. So that it is hoped these pages may be read without weariness and, perhaps, with a certain amount of profit, for although in no way a scientific narrative of the voyage, great care has been taken to make any scientific information and fresh facts as accurate as possible. The scientific results of the expedition have been published elsewhere, but a short account of some of the results obtained is given at the end of this volume, and may prove of interest to some readers. It is, no doubt, extremely difficult to sustain interest in a narrative dealing with a locality so barren and devoid of life.

Download or read book Mid Snow and Ice written by Charles D. Michael and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-16 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from 'Mid Snow and Ice: Stories of Peril in Polar Seas Originally it was the hope of finding an 0 n north-western or north-eastern route to t e Orient. There was also the prospect of exploiting the great m'ueral wealth which was sup sed by some sanguine adventurers to be In den beneath the eternal snows of the far north. But to-day, when the fascination of exploration and discovery is as strong in the hearts of men as ever it was, the reason that urges Arctic and Antarctic voyagers to deeds of bravery is not the prospect of dis covering any new trade route amid the far northern icy seas, nor the hope of finding wealth beneath farthest southern snows. It is solely that certain scientific problems: ay once and for all be solved. The motive is indeed a high one, and the end to be attained may even yet demand immense sacrifices. True it is that the honour of being first at the north and south poles has not fallen to the lot of Englishmen; but at least we have the satisfaction of know ing that it was the work of British explorers that made success for others possible. And we know, too, that the men of our race are ready to meet whatever further demands upon courage and endurance may be neces sary to complete the work of exploration in the northern and southern extremities of the world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the "Polar Star" In the Arctic Sea, Vol. 1 of 2 The practical use Of Polar expeditions has Often been discussed.

This book was released on 2016-09-23 with total page 686 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Discovery and Adventure in the Polar Seas and Regions The narrative of these voyages, down to the close of the ninth chapter, was carefully drawn from the most authentic sources by Mr. Murray, whose labours in a similar depart ment of literature have been received by the public with no common approbation. They include the adventures and exploits of many of those navigators of whom their country has the greatest reason to be proud. Such in early times were Willoughby, Chancelor, Frobisher, Davis, Hudson; more recently Parry, Scoresby, Ross, the uncle and nephew, with others of little inferior note. The wild and strange scenes through which their career led, the peculiar perils with which it was beset, the hairbreadth escapes and some times tragical events that ensued, give to their narratives an interest similar to that of romance.
