The Finnish geologist and Arctic explorer A. E. Nordenskioeld
(1832-1901) spent much of his life in exile in Sweden, where he was
made a baron. He served as Superintendent of the Mineralogical
Department of the Swedish Royal Museum, and later became a Member
of the Swedish Academy. Following a number of expeditions during
the 1860s, he concluded that the North Pole could not be reached by
ship, and in 1872 he tried unsuccessfully to reach it overland. A
great historian of cartography, he amassed a huge collection of
maps, now included in UNESCO's 'Memory of the World' Register. This
two-volume work, published in Swedish in 1881, describes his most
famous voyage, the first crossing of the North-East Passage. Volume
1 includes details of the flora, fauna, people and geology
encountered on the journey from Tromso to the Bering Strait, along
with a review of previous exploration in the region.
