From the publisher: "The present work, based on the explorer's journals and logs, tells the exciting story of the final stages of the opening up of the arctic. Also a book for both scholars and laymen, Neatby's account begins with the Elisha Kane expedition, in search of lost ships and crews of the English explorer Sir John Franklin, and continues through subsequent expeditions which either renewed the search, sought to chart Arctic regions, or attempted to reach the North Pole through the Polar Sea. Neatby dwells particularly on the adventures of Robert Peary, the truculent and controversial first men to reach the Pole, and concludes with Vihjalmur Stefansson's extensive exploration of the Canadian Arctic." .
