Martyrs to Polar Research and Erichsen’s Fate
A retrospective on Erichsen the Arctic explorer and the Greenland expedition others behind him. It contrasts current safety gains with historic peril and notes Erichsen’s thorough preparation and the era’s evolving expedition practices. The piece references Peary’s earlier voyage along Greenland’s coast and the 83rd parallel, framing the tragedy within long-running polar exploration.
Erichsen Arctic Expedition Ends With Leader’s Death
The Greenland expedition led by Erichsen reached the northeastern coast and Independence Bay, with surveys extending toward Cape Bismarck. He planned a crossing of the Greenland ice dome opposite Peary and Nansen, to rendezvous with his crew after sailing west. His death on an ice floe ends his direct work though the mission’s primary aim is deemed achieved, and the surviving members are expected home soon.
