| Zusammenfassung: | "As polar exploration reached its zenith, and in the same month that Captain Robert Falcon Scott perished in Antarctica, four young scientists from Zurich took ship for Greenland. Though they had little previous experience of arctic travel, their ambition was to achieve the first west-to-east crossing of the northern hemisphere's largest ice cap, making scientific observations along the way. Few outside Switzerland have heard of this expedition or its leader, the meteorologist Alfred de Quervain, in spite of its success. In thirty-one days in the summer of 1912, the party sledded across 640 kilometers of untracked snow and ice. Nobody died or fell into a crevasse, although there were some near misses. The voyage was more than a well-executed feat of arctic travel: de Quervain and his colleagues collected data still used today by scientists researching the effects of climate change on Greenland's ice cap. De Quervain's popular account of his adventures, published in German in 1914, is both a minor classic of exploration literature and a sympathetic portrayal of life in Greenland's remote coastal settlements in the early twentieth century. Published to coincide with the expedition's 110th anniversary, Across Greenland's Ice Cap includes the explorer's original text, translated into English by his daughter and son-in-law; a historical and biographical introduction by Martin Hood; reflections on the journey's scientific legacy by the geographers Andreas Vieli and Martin Lüthi; and a treasure trove of hand-tinted lantern slides reproduced in full colour."-- |

De Quervain's popular account of his adventures, published in German in 1914, is both a minor classic of exploration literature and a sympathetic portrayal of life in Greenland's remote coastal settlements in the early twentieth century. Published to coincide with the expedition's 110th anniversary, Across Greenland's Ice Cap includes the explorer's original text, translated into English by his daughter and son-in-law; a historical and biographical introduction by Martin Hood; reflections on the journey's scientific legacy by the geographers Andreas Vieli and Martin Lüthi; and a treasure trove of hand-tinted lantern slides reproduced in full colour."--</subfield><subfield code="c">Provided by publisher.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="505" ind1="0" ind2="0"><subfield code="t">Front Matter --</subfield><subfield code="t">Contents --</subfield><subfield code="t">Preface to This Edition --</subfield><subfield code="t">Acknowledgments --</subfield><subfield code="t">Introduction --</subfield><subfield code="t">Alfred De Quervain's Scientific Legacy: An Appraisal --</subfield><subfield code="t">About The Colour Plates --</subfield><subfield code="t">A Note on the Text --</subfield><subfield code="t">Translators' Foreword --</subfield><subfield code="t">Author's Preface --</subfield><subfield code="t">Plans and Preparations --</subfield><subfield code="t">The Sea Voyage --</subfield><subfield code="t">Old Friends --</subfield><subfield code="t">The Dog School --</subfield><subfield code="t">Northward With The Fox --</subfield><subfield code="t">Crossing The Rock Border --</subfield><subfield code="t">To The Inland Ice Lake --</subfield><subfield code="t">Over The Top Of Greenland's Firn Region --</subfield><subfield code="t">Eastern Mountains Ahead!

English Across Greenland's ice cap : the remarkable Swiss scientific expedition of 1912 / Alfred de Quervain. 202205 Montreal ; Kingston ; London ; Chicago : McGill-Queen's University Press, 2022. 1 online resource. text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Translation of: Quer durchs Grönlandeis: Die Expeditionen 1909 und 1912/13. Includes bibliographical references and index. "As polar exploration reached its zenith, and in the same month that Captain Robert Falcon Scott perished in Antarctica, four young scientists from Zurich took ship for Greenland. Though they had little previous experience of arctic travel, their ambition was to achieve the first west-to-east crossing of the northern hemisphere's largest ice cap, making scientific observations along the way. Few outside Switzerland have heard of this expedition or its leader, the meteorologist Alfred de Quervain, in spite of its success. In thirty-one days in the summer of 1912, the party sledded across 640 kilometers of untracked snow and ice. Nobody died or fell into a crevasse, although there were some near misses. The voyage was more than a well-executed feat of arctic travel: de Quervain and his colleagues collected data still used today by scientists researching the effects of climate change on Greenland's ice cap. De Quervain's popular account of his adventures, published in German in 1914, is both a minor classic of exploration literature and a sympathetic portrayal of life in Greenland's remote coastal settlements in the early twentieth century. Published to coincide with the expedition's 110th anniversary, Across Greenland's Ice Cap includes the explorer's original text, translated into English by his daughter and son-in-law; a historical and biographical introduction by Martin Hood; reflections on the journey's scientific legacy by the geographers Andreas Vieli and Martin Lüthi; and a treasure trove of hand-tinted lantern slides reproduced in full colour."-- Provided by publisher.
