In 1897, the triumphant return of the Jackson Harmsworth Arctic
expedition revived widespread enthusiasm for Polar exploration.
Within days of the expedition's arrival in London, newspapers
ranging from the Boy's Own Paper to the Graphic were full of
articles relating to the endeavours and findings of this intrepid
undertaking. The demand for information did not abate and, in 1899,
this two-volume account by Frederick G. Jackson (1860 1938) of his
travels in Franz Josef Land was published to wide acclaim. Hailed
by The Morning Post as 'a record of solid achievement accomplished
by dint of steady perseverance in the face of hardship and
difficulty', Jackson's journal describes a forbidding terrain of
ice and snow. Richly illustrated, Volume 2 includes accounts of new
lands, dark winters, and a famous encounter with Nansen. It is
supplemented by a substantial appendix containing geographical and
scientific observations.
