Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Among the Northern Icebergs
A library for American youth, which embraces accounts of the people, climate, scenery, and productions of many lands, would scarcely be complete did it not include a work upon the north polar region of the American continent. This little volume partly answers that purpose. Its limits are too narrow to admit even a mere resume of the history of Arctic exploration, which covers a period of several cent uries. And since the work is particularly for English read ers, it has been limited to accounts of the expeditions which have been sent into polar waters by England and the United States.
