London, Howard Wilford Bell, 1901, 1st edition. 97 pp, several b/w photos - one foldout. Pictorial hardcover with some handling marks and rubbing to boards, spotting to the cloth and wear to the head and tail of spine. Internally, firmly bound with pages bright and mild foxing. Still, Very Good condition. A scarce first edition of this work on Polar exploration. Prince Luigi Amedeo, Duke of the Abruzzi, was an Italian explorer known for his Arctic explorations and mountaineering expeditions. In 1899 the Duke organized an expedition toward the North Pole with the aim to establish a camp at Franz Joseph Land and from there travel to the North Pole by sled. During the night at the camp the Duke lost two fingers to frostbite and was unable to continue with the journey to the Pole. The expedition was then led by Captain Umberto Cagni who ultimately broke the record held by Fridtjof Nansen for the northernmost point reached, by a distance of 35 to 40 kilometers.
