add to cart   close window

The subject of the notice is known to American readers chiefly as the indefatigable head of the Swedish expedition which in the present year has accomplished the Northeast Passage by sea, and, in the Vega, is at this writing engaged in completing the circumnavigation of the continents of Europe and Asia. Few, except special students, may be aware that success in this extraordinary voyage was hardly needed to entitle him to the first place among living explorers of the Polar region. Accounts of the nine different Arctic expeditions in which professor Nils Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld has taken part during the last twenty years have appeared and become familiar to those interested in Arctic matters.
