Nordenskjöld, Nils Otto Gustav, and Andersson, Dr. Johan Gunnar. Antarctica; or, Two years amongst the ice of the South pole. [*]$5. Macmillan.
“It will be remembered that the Nordenskjöld expedition, in the vessel Antarctic, left Europe in the summer of 1901, and spent the following Antarctic winter in the South polar regions.... The Antarctic was caught in the ice, ‘nipped’ and sunk, and it took two relief parties to finally rescue Dr. Nordenskjöld and his followers. Notwithstanding the loss of the vessel, with many of the scientific notes, much of the geographical and other scientific results were saved.... This volume is Dr. Nordenskjöld’s own story (prepared in collaboration with Dr. Andersson and Captain Larsen, of the Antarctic).”—R. of Rs.
“In the rapidly increasing literature of Polar enterprise Dr. Nordenskjöld’s volume will take a high place. The translator, who has preferred to be anonymous, has performed his task with success.”

“Their story is told in a sufficiently attractive fashion, tho it lacks somewhat of the personal touch that ordinarily vivifies narratives of polar exploration.”
