Arctic Whale Quest of Peary Roosevelt Expedition Journal
An excerpt chronicles the Roosevelt and Peary expedition members. It describes early July departure from Sydney, Arctic whaling near Whale Sound and Kakimmuk, the walrus hunt under whales and ice, and shipboard life. The narrative notes Peary guiding hunting, dog transfers, and a return south via Labrador coast with ongoing ice and weather challenges.
