Excerpt from Three Years of Arctic Service: An Account of the Lady Franklin Expedition of 1881-84 and the Attainment of the Farthest NorthIt is ten years to-day since the survivors of the Lady Franklin Expedition were rescued, but interest in the story of their achievements and sufferings has not materially abated. The amount and character of their field and scientific work have received international recognition. Not only did the party attain the "highest North" of all time, which yet remains unsurpassed, but it determined the insularity of Greenland and discovered and traced scores of miles to the northward, the unknown shores of a new land. In physical science its work stands unique, as the only complete set of astronomical, magnetic, meteorological, pendulum, and tidal observations ever made in a very high latitude. These observations have enabled scientists to determine that the diurnal inequality of the tidal-wave conforms at Lady Franklin Bay to the sidereal day and to calculate for the Smith Sound region the secular variation of magnetic declination for past years, while, in the words of an acknowledged authority, by a series of pendulum "observations,... far the best that have ever been made within the arctic circle,... [its] determination of gravity has been signally successful."About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
