With ski & sledge over Arctic glaciers

The story of the exploration of the interior of Spitsbergen, begun in 1896, as described in my former book entitled The First Crossing of Spitsbergen, is continued in the present volume, which is to be regarded as an appendix to that. In 1897 Mr. E. J. Garwood was once more my companion. The illustrations to this book are from photographs taken by him. I here desire to return him my thanks, not only for them, but for many another kindness, for the unbroken good-fellowship of his company, and the stimulus of his society in travel. One of our two Norwegian companions, Nielsen by name, was most serviceable to us. The other was a hindrance. I have called him Svensen in this book, but that was not his name. To render the narrative more complete, I have inserted translations[vi] of such published accounts of the expeditions made by Baron Nordenskild, his son Gustav Nordenskild, and Baron De Geer, as relate to what is vaguely called the inland ice of Spitsbergen. I take this opportunity of once more calling attention to the fact that the common spelling Spitzbergen is an ignorant blunder; the correct spelling of the name is that employed throughout this book and now adopted in the official publications of the Royal Geographical Society.
