This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wreck of the South Pole or the Great Dissembler, and Other Strange Tales Readers may remember the story told by an ancient mariner which was published last November. This was an account of a cruise which Capt. Reynolds, of New London, Conn., made in the South Seas twenty-six years ago. This voyage, so far as the South Seas were concerned, ended at the South Georgia Islands, where the captain and his crew remained until driven out by the ice. These islands are situated exactly 1,000 miles east of Cape Horn, with an oceanic current running directly from the southern end of the American Continent to them. Here is the most beautiful harbor in the world - the Cumberland. It is surrounded on three sides by lofty mountains which rear their heads straight upward 16,000 feet above the sea, and down whose sides five cataracts flow. But wild and rugged as are those mountain peaks and tempestuous as may be the ocean out beyond, no storms are ever felt within the harbor, although looking upward the sailor can see them raging around the mountain tops.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Phantom of the Poles To conclude that an Opinion is worthless because it is not expressed in the best form is a great mistake. To study out a prob lem, and to be able to convey the thought clearly and forcibly to the public, is quite another thing. Whether I can state my views on this subject in a manner that will convince others, I know not; I only hope that the reader will give credit to my ideas, rather than my expression. I claim that the earth is not only hollow, but that all, or nearly all, Of the explorers have spent much Of their time past the turning-point, and have had a look into the interior Of the earth. When Lieutenant Greely was beholding the mock sun at 120 deg. L., he was looking into our sister world; and when Nansen saw the square sun lined with horizontal bars, he was gazing on what may be the future home of his daughter, then but two years Old.

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.

Download or read book Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World written by Jennifer Armstrong and published by Knopf Books for Young Readers. This book was released on 2000-09-12 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The extraordinary true story behind Ernest Shackleton's harrowing expedition to Antarctica on the Endurance—the ill-fated ship that became trapped in ice and sank to the ocean floor. Defying the odds, the crew made it back alive, bringing with them the astounding collection of photographs included in this critically acclaimed, timeless book. In August 1914, Ernest Shackleton and his crew sailed from England on the Endurance in an attempt to become the first team of explorers to cross Antarctica from one side to the other. Five months later and still 100 miles from land, their ship, Endurance, became trapped in ice. Defying the odds, the expedition survived another five months camping on ice floes, followed by a perilous journey through stormy seas to remote and unvisited Elephant Island. In a dramatic climax to this amazing survival story, Shackleton and five others navigated 800 miles of treacherous open ocean in a 20-foot boat to fetch a rescue ship. Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World vividly re-creates one of the most fascinating adventure stories in history. Award-winning author Jennifer Armstrong recounts one of the most extraordinary adventure stories in history with vigor, an eye for detail, and an appreciation of the marvelous leadership of Shackleton, who brought home every single one of his men alive.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Antarctic Mystery NO doubt the following narrative will be received with entire incredulity, but I think it well that the public should be put in possession of the facts narrated in An Antarctic Mystery. The public is free to believe them or not, at its good pleasure. No more appropriate scene for the wonderful and terrible adventures which I am about to relate could be imagined than the Desolation Islands, so called, in 1779, by Captain Cook. I lived there for several weeks, and I can affirm, on the evidence of my own eyes and my own experience, that the famous English explorer and navigator was happily inspired when he gave the islands that significant name.
