Expéditions Den Norske Nordhavs 1876-1878. Volume 1. Géographie

The time passed by the Norwegian Expedition on the coast of such continental tracts and islands as border upon the North-Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean, was devoted, circumstances permitting to the prosecution of exploratory work on shore. Those of the observations, and their results, that are fraught, it is presumed, with new and interesting data, have been set forth in the following pages. The accompanying illustrations, all of which are from sketches taken on the spot, will convey, in many respects, a much livelier impression of the natural objects they represent than any more verbal description, however graphic aud precise.
