Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Frederick Albert Cook, the second youngest son, was five years old when he saw his father in the coffin. He grew up loving the outdoors, and would spend nights under the stars. He never forgot the struggle to survive, and learned how to swim. #2 Frederick Cook, the inventor of the milk delivery truck, was a medical student at Columbia University. He was able to get by on only a few hours of sleep a night, and still managed to study and deliver milk. #3 In 1891, Frederick Cook read in the New York Herald about a new expedition to Greenland being planned by Robert E. Peary, who in the summer of 1886 had attempted to cross the Greenland ice cap before being forced back by storms. He knew instantly what he must do. #4 Peary’s mother was a very protective mother, and she kept him away from other boys. She also had him study nature, which was a never-ending source of happiness for Peary.

This updated and expanded version of the second edition explains the physical principles underlying the behaviour of glaciers and ice sheets. The text has been revised in order to keep pace with the extensive developments which have occurred since 1981. A new chapter, of major interest, concentrates on the deformation of subglacial till. The book concludes with a chapter on information regarding past climate and atmospheric composition obtainable from ice cores.

"Euro-American explorers reached northernmost Greenland in the mid-19th century. Remoteness, desolate tundra, and persistent sea ice have ensured that many historic sites from early (non-Inuit) exploration remained undisturbed by man. Moreover, as the result of the dry polar climate, the physical remains from these expeditions - even cloth, leather, and paper - are generally well preserved. The hundred and two objects registered and described in this book were discovered at thirty-two sites stretching from Baffin Bay to the Arctic Ocean. They derive from nineteen American, British and Danish expeditions of geographical discovery that reached Greenland between 1853 and 1934. Ranging from commonplace to borderline unique, the artefacts give an insight to conditions, life and mere survival on these expeditions, an insight that adds authenticity to the written annals and to a history that is truly dramatic with at least fifty men losing their lives. Beautifully illustrated with no less than 600 images comprising maps, portraits, scenes from the historic sites and superb artefact photography, this book will appeal not just to students of historical archaeology, but to all interested in the exploration of the polar regions."--
