Excerpt from Amid Snowy Wastes: Wild Life on the Spitsbergen Archipelago This book is the outcome of a visit to the Spitsbergen Archipelago in the summer of 1921 as photographer with the Oxford University Expedition. The chapters do not attempt to describe the achievements of the Expedition, they are merely a narrative of my own personal observations and experiences; but I shall be more than satisfied if I have succeeded in bringing before the mind's eye of the reader the distinctive charm of that far northern land. Few people seem indeed to realize how far north the archipelago lies, although at its most northerly point it is less than 600 miles from the North Pole itself. From Tromso in the extreme north of Norway, it took us six days' steaming to reach Spitsbergen, the only halt during that time being a few hours' stay at Bear Island. Some of the chapters in an abbreviated form originally appeared in the Scotsman and my thanks are due to the Editor of that paper for his courtesy in agreeing to their reproduction here.
