PREFACE

The story of the exploration of the interior of Spitsbergen,begun in 1896, as described in my formerbook entitled “The First Crossing of Spitsbergen,”is continued in the present volume, which is to beregarded as an appendix to that. In 1897 Mr.E. J. Garwood was once more my companion.The illustrations to this book are from photographstaken by him. I here desire to return him mythanks, not only for them, but for many anotherkindness, for the unbroken good-fellowship of hiscompany, and the stimulus of his society in travel.One of our two Norwegian companions, Nielsen byname, was most serviceable to us. The other wasa hindrance. I have called him Svensen in thisbook, but that was not his name. To render thenarrative more complete, I have inserted translations[vi]of such published accounts of the expeditions madeby Baron Nordenskiöld, his son Gustav Nordenskiöld,and Baron De Geer, as relate to what is vaguelycalled the “inland ice” of Spitsbergen. I take thisopportunity of once more calling attention to thefact that the common spelling “Spitzbergen” is anignorant blunder; the correct spelling of the nameis that employed throughout this book and nowadopted in the official publications of the RoyalGeographical Society.
