| Meer info | "being the story of the Alabama expedition, 1909-1912", "with numerous illustrations and a map". Very good condition with just a little foxing and a few small private owner's stamps. Mikkelsen set out on a grueling three year journey to find and retrieve the diary accounts of Mylius Erichsen and Haeg Hagen who perished along with Jorgen Bronlund during their Danish expedition two years earlier (1907). Their expedition successfully mapped the Northeast coast of Greenland, so it became important to the Danish that their bodies, and especially their diary accounts, be located. Mikkelsen set out in the refitted ‘Alabama’ with only a six man crew and a relatively small ship (later to be broken down for wood). Their story of a three year survival that followed became a true testament to human survival instinct, perseverance and intelligence. |
