4.9/5 (32788 ratings)

Description:First published in 1896, this book represents an account of the Norwegian Antarctic Expedition of 1894-95 led by Leonard Kristensen. Bull, a Melbourne resident, organized the voyage and served as its manager. This commercial enterprise in search of whaling grounds and seals was funded by the Norwegian whaler Svend Foyn. By late 1894 the ship had penetrated the pack ice and entered the Ross Sea. At Cape Adare a crew including Kristensen, Bull and Carstens Borchgrevink went ashore, becoming the first men to set foot on the continent.Norwegian businessman and whaler Henrik Johan Bull was one of the pioneers in the exploration of Antarctica and, arguably, led the expedition which landed the first men on the continent (a claim disputed by sealer John Davis who asserted that he stepped onto the Antarctic Peninsula much earlier in 1821). Bull led the 1893 expedition aboard the Swedish steamship 'Antarctic', equipped with eleven harpoon guns, an arsenal of explosives, eight whaleboats and a thirty-one man crew. Over the course of the two-year expedition, they visited Tristan da Cunha, the Prince Edward Islands, Îles Crozet, Îles Kerguelen, the Balleny Islands, Campbell Island and Possession Islands. On 19 January 1895, a small party landed on Possession Island, a rocky island about 2 miles long. On 24 January 1895, a boat was put ashore with six men including Bull, Leonard Kristensen, Carsten Borchgrevink and seaman Alexander von Tunzelmann at Cape Adare, Antarctica.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
