Sobre este artículo
London: Hutchinson & Co, 1903. First edition in English, 2 volumes, small 4to, pp. xvi, 346, xvii-xxii; viii, [347]-702, ix-xii; 16 photogravure plates, 2 panoramas, 5 color maps, and 212 illustrations in the text; hinges just starting, else a near fine, bright and still a sound copy in original pictorial blue cloth stamped in gilt on upper covers and spines. "With nineteen men, the Duke of Abruzzi sailed in the steam brigantine Stella Polare, June, 1899, to Archangel, and thence across the Barents Sea to Rudolph Island, Franz Josef Land, to winter in Teplitz Bay, and to undertake marches on the ice of the Arctic Basin in attempts to reach the North Pole. The sledge party's farthest was 83" 16'." This was farther north than any other expedition to date. It was a mixed success, however. The Duke lost two fingers to frostbite, and was unable to join the sled expedition, which was then led by Captain Cagni. The brave captain ran out of supplies and barely managed to return to the base camp. Originally published in Italian, this first edition in English contains 2 folding color maps in the back pocket of the second volume. See Arctic Bibliography 10423 and 10425.
