The Polar Problem and Arctic Exploration
A special correspondence from Wasuixeron surveys renewed interest in Arctic research in 1894. It outlines polar questions, the value of exploration, and plans of Dr. Nansen Peary and others as they push toward Franz Josef Land and the 80th to 86th parallels, aiming to illuminate what lies beyond known seas and to approach the pole.
