Description:"The following pages tell with some detail the thrilling story of Arctic and Antarctic endeavour, from the very beginning of the long succession of enterprises right up to the present times.

Baffled in one direction, the lion-hearted race of explorers renewed the attempt in another; when one method failed a new one was evolved, and thus, step by step, the area of the unknown became gradually reduced in extent." - excerpt from the book.The book includes chapters on the search for the North-West passage, Sir John Franklin's fatal expedition and it's accomplishment, tragic Jeannette expedition, discoveries of Franz Jozef Land and the North-East passage, Nansen's Farthest North, Peary's polar struggles and victory, captain Scott's expedition in the Discovery, Shackleton's Farthest South and other accounts of polar exploration.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
