$450 · Offered by William Reese Company

"FARTHEST NORTH" BEING THE RECORD OF A VOYAGE OF EXPLORATION OF THE SHIP FRAM.... An account of Nansen's polar expedition of 1893-96, including the narrative of his sledge journey toward the Pole. Many of the illustrations are from Nansen's own sketches. This first British edition is a far superior production to, and including more plates than, the Norwegian first of the same year. Nansen used as his base the ship Fram, which he allowed to be frozen into the Arctic ice pack and float with the ice. This attractive British edition is not in ARCTIC BIBLIOGRAPHY.
