Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Heroes of the Arctic and Their Adventures
Captain Hall had, before his death amid the very scenes of his greatest exploits, the satisfaction of knowing that he had taken his vessel to a higher latitude than ever attained before in this manner. The German and Austro Hungarian expeditions - important in results and most interesting in the narratives - have been described as fully as was possible in a work of limited size, and the writer has endeavoured to do impartial justice to the efforts and successes of the brave men of other nations, as well as to those of his own country.
The orthography of proper names in this work is always that of the authors quoted, and some minor differences will therefore be easily understood.
