Excerpt: ... only recorded white woman to reach such a high latitude, 770 48' N., and held that peculiar honor until Madame D'aunet visited Spitzbergen in 1839. Lieutenant Chariton Laptief took up the westward voyage in 1739, under orders from the Admiralty to complete the survey by sea or by land. From his farthest, Cape Thaddeus, 760 47' N., he turned back and wintered on the Chatanga. The following year yielded no results save the besetment and loss of his vessel, three hundred miles from his old winter-quarters, their only hope of safety. This journey was made on foot in the beginning of an Arctic winter, across a desolate, uninhabited tundra. Day by day men broke down under excessive exertions and insufficient food, and no less than twelve men perished of cold and exhaustion. Nevertheless, Laptief continued his work by land the following spring, his endeavors being particularly directed to passing around the north point of Asia, --an exceedingly difficult task from its extremely high latitude, in 770 34', over six degrees to the north of the extreme northerly point of America, Boothia Felix, 720 N. His mate, Chelyuskin, reached this cape, which properly bears his name, in May, 1742, by a long and difficult sledge journey from the Chatanga, while Laptief and others explored the rest of the peninsula and ended voyages to the west. Chelyuskins's discovery of the northernmost point of Asia has been often questioned, but NordenSkiold puts his claims beyond cavil. The westerly voyage of Lassinius from the Lena, in 1735, ended a short distance to the east of the delta in utter disaster, 53 of the 62 men, including Lassinius, dying of scurvy in winter quarters. Dmitri Lapteif, being then charged with the work, pursued it with such perseverance, .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Polar Discoveries Exploration of the Arctic world has fitly illustrated the truth of Benjamin Franklin's aphorism, that 'an investment in knowledge always pays the best interest;' for during the past two centuries that dreary and seemingly unproductive region of our globe has yielded commercial materials far exceeding a thousand million dollars in value. This fact alone is sufficient answer to the utilitarian objection to Arctic research; and accurate knowledge of Arctic lands is well worth the having, for purely practical purposes if no other, because the available wealth of this northern world is by no means exhausted. It was commercial interest, indeed, which gave the inception to Arctic investigation, in the search for a northwest passage from Europe to the Orient; and the progress of this search alone led to most important geographic discoveries. But while Arctic voyagers have penetrated to latitude 83 24', within about 450 miles of the geographic pole, an area of the north polar regions exceeding three million square miles remains unexplored.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bitter cold and constant snow. Polar bears, seals, and killer whales. Victor Frankenstein chasing his monstrous creation across icy terrain in a dogsled. The arctic calls to mind a myriad different images. Consisting of the Arctic Ocean and parts of Canada, the United States, Russia, Greenland, Finland, Norway and Sweden, the arctic possesses a unique ecosystem—temperatures average negative 29 degrees Fahrenheit in winter and rarely rise above freezing in summer—and the indigenous peoples and cultures that live in the region have had to adapt to the harsh weather conditions. As global temperatures rise, the arctic is facing an environmental crisis, with melting glaciers causing grave concern around the world. But for all the renown of this frozen region, the arctic remains far from perfectly understood. In A History of the Arctic, award-winning polar historian John McCannon provides an engaging overview of the region that spans from the Stone Age to the present. McCannon discusses polar exploration and science, nation-building, diplomacy, environmental issues, and climate change, and the role indigenous populations have played in the arctic’s story. Chronicling the history of each arctic nation, he details the many failed searches for a Northwest Passage and the territorial claims that hamper use of these waterways. He also explores the resources found in the arctic—oil, natural gas, minerals, fresh water, and fish—and describes the importance they hold as these resources are depleted elsewhere, as well as the challenges we face in extracting them. A timely assessment of current diplomatic and environmental realities, as well as the dire risks the region now faces, A History of the Arctic is a thoroughly engrossing book on the past—and future—of the top of the world.
