The tale also includes Ross's exploits on board the "Victory," Back's two excursions, and Dease and Simpson's findings. The book also includes information on Sverdrup and Peary's following excursions, as well as current expeditions like those led by Abruzzi, Wellmann, and Toll, and the Jackson-Harmsworth mission. The book "Arctic Exploration" gives a thorough overview of the Arctic region's travels as well as the difficulties the explorers encountered while trying to learn and find new things.
