Beyond the Edge, Volume II: Accounts of Historic, Significant, and Little-Known Expeditions on the Greenland Ice Cap

Gerald W. Johnson

4.9/5 (10163 ratings)

Description:In the 1870s, maps of Greenland were incomplete, and the interior was a blank space. Was there ice from coast to coast, or was there land somewhere in the middle? Did, or could, anything live there? Neither explorers nor local inhabitants had yet ventured beyond the coast. Then, in 1876, the Danish government began a series of expeditions to answer the question of what lay inland from Greenland's coast, setting off more than a century of Ice Cap investigations to explore this mysterious and strategically valuable piece of land. And while the characteristics of the expeditions may have changed over time, each trip had its own significance and offered its own revelations. The intrepid explorers leading these expeditions had different exploration, national pride, fame, or the satisfaction of setting foot on virgin soil. Many did not return alive, but those who did brought back a collection of fascinating adventure stories.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
