Book Synopsis Collection of Materials on Andrée's Balloon Expedition to the North Pole by : William Hillman
Download or read book Collection of Materials on Andrée's Balloon Expedition to the North Pole written by William Hillman and published by . This book was released on 1897 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collection contains twelve silver print photographic prints, nine telegrams, sixteen newspaper articles, and one broadside related to S. A. Andrée's ill-fated balloon expedition to the North Pole in 1897. The photographs are copies of those printed from the negatives shot by Andrée and his men during the expedition and then recovered by Norwegian reporters in 1930. They document the downed balloon, scenes of camp life, a dead polar bear, the expedition's boat, and a dead bird. The telegrams are from "Stansbury", "Ranck", and "Ritchie" and were sent to Hillman discussing the expedition's story. The telegrams allude to Andrée's diary, Hillman's interview with Gunnar Horn, and the Strindberg and Frænkel diaries. The newspaper articles are from The Boston advertiser, The Los Angeles examiner, The New York American, and the Chicago herald and examiner. One article, dated September 20 and appearing in The New York American, carries Hillman's byline. In addition to covering the discovery of the expedition, the newspapers printed excerpts from the diaries of Andrée and Strindberg. The broadside was distributed by the Swedish government to native tribes along Andrée's suspected route appealing to them to offer aide to the balloonists if discovered.

Book excerpt: In 1897, at the height of the heroic age of Arctic exploration, the visionary Swedish explorer S. A. Andrée made a revolutionary attempt to discover the North Pole by flying over it in a hydrogen balloon. Thirty-three years later, his expedition diaries and papers would be discovered on the ice. Alec Wilkinson uses the explorer’s papers and contemporary sources to tell the full story of this ambitious voyage, while also showing how the late 19th century’s spirit of exploration and scientific discovery drove over 1,000 explorers to the unforgiving Arctic landscape. Suspenseful and haunting, Wilkinson captures Andrée’s remarkable adventure and illuminates the detail, beauty, and devastating conditions of traveling and dwelling on the ice.

Book excerpt: Visitors to the Arctic enter places that have been traditionally imagined as otherworldly. This strangeness fascinated audiences in nineteenth-century Britain when the idea of the heroic explorer voyaging through unmapped zones reached its zenith. The Spectral Arctic re-thinks our understanding of Arctic exploration by paying attention to the importance of dreams and ghosts in the quest for the Northwest Passage. The narratives of Arctic exploration that we are all familiar with today are just the tip of the iceberg: they disguise a great mass of mysterious and dimly lit stories beneath the surface. In contrast to oft-told tales of heroism and disaster, this book reveals the hidden stories of dreaming and haunted explorers, of frozen mummies, of rescue balloons, visits to Inuit shamans, and of the entranced female clairvoyants who travelled to the Arctic in search of John Franklin’s lost expedition. Through new readings of archival documents, exploration narratives, and fictional texts, these spectral stories reflect the complex ways that men and women actually thought about the far North in the past. This revisionist historical account allows us to make sense of current cultural and political concerns in the Canadian Arctic about the location of Franklin’s ships.

Download or read book Quicklet on The Ice Balloon: S. A. Andree and the Heroic Age of Arctic Exploration by Alec Wilkinson written by Nicole Silvester and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2012-02-24 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK “Except for the bottom of the sea or the center of the earth, the North Pole, at the end of the nineteenth century, was the world's last mysterious destination.” The Ice Balloon: S.A. Andrée and the Heroic Age of Arctic Exploration retells the attempt by Swedish explorer S.A. Andrée to reach the north pole by hydrogen balloon. Writer Alec Wilkinson recounts the whole story of Andrée’s venture from its first conception to the final recovery of its lost artifacts, and intersperses his tale with other events in the history of Arctic exploration. Wilkinson draws on previous accounts of Arctic exploration as well as original documents from various expeditions to reconstruct an era of scientific discovery. The book includes photographs taken by contemporaries of Andrée, including some that were shot on Andrée’s expedition and lost for decades when the undeveloped film was frozen in the ice along with the members of the party. MEET THE AUTHOR Nicole has been writing since she could make letters with a pencil, and has been making a living at it for more than ten years. She has gone back to school too many times, studying archaeology, folklore, writing and visual art. She writes fiction under several pen names, and also does printmaking, book arts, and photography. Nicole is an avid amateur natural historian with a particular fascination for things that fly, whether it's birds, bats or insects. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK In 1893, a Norwegian named Fridtjof Nansen set off to strand his purpose-built ship, the Fram, in the Arctic ice with the hope it could drift to the north pole along with the ice. There were thirteen men on the crew, who lived in relative comfort compared to other Arctic explorers. Nansen had planned carefully and the Fram was well-insulated and warm. He was not content to simply wait and set off with another crew member to attempt to reach the pole by dogsled. But his haste proved to work against him as they had to turn back. It was not until 1896 that they encountered other explorers, and were able to make their way back to their ship. This was the same time at which Andrée was planning his first attempt to launch his balloon. In the summer of 1896 Andrée and his two crew members, meteorologist Nils Eckholm and photographer Nils Strindberg, along with a large crew of people to help build a temporary balloon shed and prepare for the journey, arrived in Spitsbergen. By the end of the summer the attempt was abandoned due to a lack of favorable winds for the balloon. Buy a copy to keep reading!

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1898 edition. Excerpt: ... IV. THE "VICTORIA"--BEAR HUNTING. Ox the 27th of June, in the afternoon, our attention is attracted by the arrival of a vessel coming from the North. It is always a pleasant event to come across other navigators in these distant regions; it makes one feel less lonely and isolated. It is Mr. Pike's "Victoria," commanded by Captain Wilson, who hunts bears and seals on these shores. She casts anchor near the "Virgo." We enter a boat and go to welcome the travellers. Andree obtains from the captain some information as to the state of the ice in the North. I pay a visit to the boat, which, though otherwise plain and rough, is nevertheless fitted up to perfection for the peculiar nature of her expeditions. She contains various objects which are not without interest for me, who am a newcomer to these extraordinary regions, such as skins of bears and various birds, also a live young bear captured at the Norwegian islands, who utters ominous growls and seems to protest energetically against this outrage upon his liberty. Sunday, the 38th of June, was an eventful day, and full of emotions. The "Victoria" left at 9 A. M. for Ice-Fjord, taking with her an enormous parcel of letters with our best wishes for our nearest and dearest. After an early lunch we started for an excursion. Strindberg, Grumberg, Arrhenius, Dr. Ekelund, two engineers, two sailors and myself went off in the steam launch. The weather was superb, the sea calm, the sky a little misty; some pretty cumuli touched the mountains. We turned round Dane's Island and shaped our course towards Smeerenburg. Our little boat goes ahead full speed and gives herself up to a mad race among floating ice-blocks which cover the surface of the bay. The spectacle is marvellous! We are surrounded by...
