Excerpt from Polar ExplorationI AM glad to have this opportunity of pre senting to a wide public an outline of the essential facts and problems of Polar Explora tion. It is not more than introductory to a more comprehensive book which I hope to write when some leisure is afforded from the more real work of exploration and research. I must also note that it is not intended to be in any way a history of Polar Exploration.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
