Three Years of Arctic Service.

AN ACCOUNT OF THE
LADY FRANKLIN BAY EXPEDITION OF 1881-84,
AND THE ATTAINMENT OF THE
FARTHEST NORTH.

The first full and authorized account of the most important and successful Arctic Exploration ever made.

MAGNIFICENTLY ILLUSTRATED
WITH
OVER 150 ENGRAVINGS, MAPS, AND CHARTS.

By Lieutenant A. W. GREELY, U.S.A.,
Commanding the Expedition.

This book contains Lieutenant Greely’s story of an expedition which reached the most northerly point ever attained; and of an experience that stands alone in Arctic annals. Apart from the narrative of extraordinary suffering and final rescue which appears here, the fact that no one else ever passed the same length of time so far within the Arctic circle gives to the account the value and interest of observations absolutely new. Lieutenant Greely’s training, attainments, and above all the long study of Arctic matters and the Polar question which first led him to seek this service, all qualified him to make and to record these observations, and his book will be found to give his experience with a simple directness that makes the story the more absorbing, and with no detention of the reader over useless comment.

“The most remarkable book ever produced upon the subject of Arctic explorations.”—JOURNAL OF COMMERCE.
