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: Excerpt from Polar Exploration I am glad to have this opportunity of presenting to a wide public an outline of the essential facts and problems of Polar Exploration. It is not more than introductory to a more comprehensive book which I hope to write when some leisure is afforded from the more real work of exploration and research. I must also note that it is not intended to be in any way a history of Polar Exploration. The book is simply a "traveller's sample," revealing to some extent what is in the great "warehouse" of the Polar Regions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Marvellous Wonders of the Polar World: Being a Complete and Authentic History of Voyages and Discoveries in the Polar Regions The recent terrible experiences of the delong and Greely expeditions have awakened intense interest in the region towards which the world still looks, with unsatisfied inquiry. The object of this book is to present, in one volume, an authentic record of all that can interest the general reader in connection with the efforts put forth by Arctic explorers to solve the problems presented in the Polar regions. Nothing in the whole range of literature can be more enter taining than the accounts of the various expeditions to the frozen North - that in search of a northwest passage under Sir John Franklin, the voyages of Lieut. Dehaven, Dr. Kane and Dr. Hayes, the three expeditions of Charles Francis Hall, the remarkable sledge journey of three thousand miles, by Lieut. Schwatka, U. S. A., the cruise and loss of the Jeannette, and the relief expeditions sent out for delong, closing with the account of the Greely expedition and the rescue of Lieut. Greely and the survivors of his party - thus covering the whole field of Arctic explorations. No better example of the influence of lofty motives in the conduct of life can be found than is seen in the case of these brave adventurers and martyrs in the cause of science. The youth of our country will draw many ennobling lessons from the patriotic self-sacrifice of Franklin, Kane, Hayes, Hall, De Long and Greely, in the perusal of this work. There always will be a great interest among the people in books relating to voyages of discovery, adventure, suffering and death.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Secrets of Polar Travel In my book "The North Pole" appeared a brief resume, or synopsis, of my system of arctic exploration, which was the evolution of years of continuous practical work and experience in extreme high latitudes, wherein everything that could be thought of in the way of perfecting arctic methods and equipment was worked out. Ideas that in the mind or on paper appeared promising were tested relentlessly under the most hostile conditions. Those that failed under the test were abandoned, and those that gave evidence of containing some meat were perfected, until at last the entire subject of perfected equipment and methods, combined with the thorough knowledge of all conditions to be encountered gained through years of experience, compelled success. This was the resume: The so-called "Peary System" is too complex to be covered in a paragraph, and involves too many technical details to be outlined fully in any popular narrative. But the main points of it are about as follows: To drive a ship through the ice to the farthest possible northern land base from which she can be driven back again the following year.
