The German Arctic Expedition of 1869-70 - And Narrative of the Wreck of the Hansa in the Ice (Paperback): Karl Koldewey The German Arctic Expedition of 1869-70 - And Narrative of the Wreck of the Hansa in the Ice (Paperback)

This heavily illustrated book is an account of a German Arctic expedition, published in 1873 4 by its commander Karl Koldewey (1837 1908) and in this English translation in 1874. The states of northern Germany had a long tradition of trade and exploration in northern waters. As the German empire came into being, two major expeditions were launched, both commanded by Koldewey. The second, of 1869 70, consisted of two vessels, the Germania and the Hansa, a supply ship. The Hansa became separated in fog, failed to reach the fallback rendezvous, was icebound, and finally sank, while the crew survived for nine months on a diminishing ice floe until they reached the coast of Greenland in their surviving small boats. The Germania reached the north of Greenland before encountering pack ice, and was successful in surveying the coast and collecting botanical specimens, before returning safely in 1870."

The German Arctic Expedition of 1869 - 1870 was a milestone in Arctic research. Lead by Captain Karl Koldewey, the group experienced great danger and the loss of the "Hansa" in the ice during their finally successful way into the central regions of the Arctic. The expedition was also a competition between two different generations of ships, the sailing vessel "Hansa," which did not make her way back, and the steam-powered "Germania."
