Book Synopsis The Arctic Regions by : William Bradford
Download or read book The Arctic Regions written by William Bradford and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark in the annals of American photography and polar adventure, William Bradford's book The Arctic Regions was first published for subscribers in 1873. No more than three hundred copies of the leather-bound elephant folio are known to have been printed. The book has been a prized possession of major American and European museums, libraries, and collectors ever since. With an introduction written by the noted polar historian Russell A. Potter, The Arctic Regions is now available for the first time to the trade. As the pace of global climate change quickens and the magnificent Arctic icecap dwindles, its publication could not be more timely or important.

Excerpt: ... be accomplished at a very early period, where large whales are generally at this season to be found. SECT. III. Observations on the Fishery ofdifferent Latitudes and Seasons, and under different circumstances of Ice, Wind, and Weather. It is not yet ascertained, what is the earliest period of the year, in which it is possible to fish for whales. The danger attending the navigation, amidst massive drift ice in the obscurity of night, is the most formidable objection against attempting the fishery before the middle of the month of April, when the sun having entered the northern tropic, begins to enlighten the Polar regions throughout the twenty-four hours. Severity of frost, prevalence of storms, and frequency of thick weather, arising from snow and frost rime, are the usual concomitants of the spring of the year; and these, when combined with the darkness incident to night, a tempestuous sea, and crowded ice, must probably produce as high a degree of horror in the mind of the navigator, who is unhappily subjected to their distressful influence, as any combination of circumstances which the imagination can present. Some ships have sailed to the northward of the seventy-eight degree of latitude, before the close of the month of March; but I am not acquainted with a single instance, where the hardy fishers have, at this season, derived any compensation for the extraordinary dangers to which they were exposed. In the course of the month of April, on certain occasions, considerable progress has been made in the fishery, notwithstanding the frequency of storms. At the first stage of the business, in open seasons, the whales are usually found in most abundance on the borders of the ice, near Ilackluyt's Headland, in the latitude of 80 . A...

It is not uncommon for the ice to produce the effect of repulsing and balancing an assailing wind. Thus, when a severe storm blows from the sea directly towards the main body of ice, an opposite current will sometimes prevail on the borders of the ice; and such conflicting winds have been observed to counterpoise each other, a few furlongs distant from the ice, for several hours: the violence of the one being, as it were, subdued by the frigorific repulsion and greater density of the other. The effect resulting, is singular and manifest. For, 3. The moist and temperate gale from the southward, becomes chilled on commixture with the northern breeze, and having its capacity for moisture thereby diminished, discharges its surplus humidity in the thickest snow. As the quantity of the snow depends considerably on the difference of temperature of the two assimilating streams of air, it follows, that the largest proportion must be precipitated on the exterior of the main body of ice, It is almost needless to say, that the foundation of this, and some of the following remarks, on the same subject, is derived from Dr Hutton's ingenious Theory of Rain, an able and beautiful illustration of which we have in Professor LesLie's Essay " On the Relations of Air to Heat and Moisture," p. 122. where the contrast of temperature is the greatest: and since that contrast must be gradually diminished, as the air passes over the gelid surface of the ice, much of its superabundant moisture must generally be discharged before it reaches the interior. Hence we can account for the fewness of the clouds, --the consequent brightness of the atmosphere, --and the rareness of storms, in situations far immured among the northern ice. From this...
