Framed Print of The Swedish exploring exhibition at Green Harbour, Spitzbergen, 1872. Creator: Unknown
The Swedish exploring exhibition at Green Harbour, Spitzbergen, 1872. It has been mentioned that great fears were entertained about the safety of the Swedish expedition, sent out under the command of Professor Nordenskjöld, with the intention of wintering in the Parry Islands, north of Spitzbergen, and thence reaching the Pole by means of reindeer sledges over the ice. As stated by Sir Henry Rawlinson at the meeting of the Royal Geographical Society, on Monday, Nov. 11, the three vessels composing the expedition (the steamers Polhem and Onkel Adam, with the sailing-vessel Gladan, the first two commanded by naval officers) had reached Green Harbour, on the west coast of Spitzbergen, on Aug. 4...We are much obliged to Captain J. C. Wells, R N. who has furnished a sketch of the Samson schooner parting from the Swedish North Polar Expedition in Green Harbour, on the west coast of Spitzbergen. The Samson was at that time on her homeward voyage from the far north, where she had been sounding at great depths for temperatures. The season appeared too much advanced for a party going north, and Captain Wells is of opinion that the ships were not suited for the work'. From Illustrated London News, 1872.
