Tram from the northern coast of Fin
land. His was the novel scheme OF
being carried in the ice foe to the
pole. His vessel entered the foe on
September %, but the drift carried it
toward S~pitzbergen rather than to-
ward the pole. DIR. Nansen decided
that he would have to leave the ship
and make a trial with sledges.
He left the Tram, and with % dogs,
three Eskimos, and two skin canoes,
started out over the ice on March 10,
1895. In II days he had reached a
latitude of sc degrees and IA minutes
north. At that time this was ITO
geographical miles further north than
the best previous record, made by
Lockwood back in 1882.
Nansen was 261 statute miles from
the pole, equal to the distance from
New York city to the southern boun-

He finally was picked up off Cape
Flora by the Jackson expedition, which
had spent two years in Franz Josef
land. He arrived at VardO, whence
he had sailed, on August 10, 1906.
About a week later his ship Tram,
which had been carried for years in
the ice foes, reached the same port.
The Norsemen probably we're the
first Europeans to visit the arctic re-
gions and Greeland. The struggles to
find a short cut to the riches of the
far east were mor productive of ad-
ventures and loss of life than the
later day dashes for the pole.
Sir Hugh Willoughby sailed in 1858
"for the search and discovery of north
ern parts of the world" He discov-
cred Nova Zembla, but starved with
most of his men in Lapland on the re-
turn voyage.
Frobisher in 1876 and Davis in 1858
made voyages to Greenland and the
north coast of America. Henry Hud-
son in 1907 reached latitude 70 de-
grees on the eastern coast of Green
land and added to the knowledge of
~Spitzbergen, which was discovered by
a Dutchman, William Barents, in 1885.
Through the seventeenth and eighth
zenith centuries more and more
knowledge of the arctic was gained,
and in 1907 Capt. Giles made a voy-
n~o for RI tho nocfuorH o1nnO the
shore of Greenland and saw high land
which since has been Giles land, in
the latitude of so degrees north.
American Takes WhaIers' Record.
Capt. Scoresby, in command of a
whaler, succeeded in advancing his
ship, the Resolution, as far north as
81 degrees IL minutes AZ seconds in
1906. This was the record until Lieut..
Edward Parry, an American, reached
latitude 50 degrees As minutes in an
attempted dash for the pole from the
northern coast of ~Spitzenberg in 1927.
The Inflated expedition of the Eng
lish admiral, Sir John Franklin, indi-
rectly was responsible for much val
liable arctic exploration. Sir John
sailed on May 10, 1916, with two ships
and 129 men to make the long desired
northward passage. The ships were
last seen in Baffin's bay on July 26 of

The name of DR.. Frederick A. Cook,

go down in history as having solved
a problem that has baffied the most

successful feat in locating the long

more remarkable because of the fact
that in the final dash he was the only

accompanied only by two hardy Es-
