Steam carriages for city streets a distant dream?

Expedition Notes First Landing On Ice Free Arctic Coast
Captain Johnson found ice-free waters on Aug 16 and anchored Aug 17 near 79 degrees 8 minutes north, 30 degrees 16 minutes east to fish and fuel from driftwood piles along the shore. He climbed a coastal mountain, noting land reunites into a continuous though indented island with several small islets and observed ice only on the north coast. He traced the coast Aug 18–19, reporting open sea to the east and northeast and a coastal region devoid of ice except for the north. Notable finds include birds seals and reindeer fat. The vast driftwood piles along the eastern coast imply Arctic conditions and atmospheric patterns in the icy region.
