Excerpt from Greenland by the Polar Sea: The Story of the Thule Expedition From Melville Bay to Cape Morris Jesup Rasmussen's tribute to the work done by his predecessors in Arctic exploration is most generous and discriminating; he shows that he understood their difficulties, though they were not his in the same way, and what they accomplished he is eager to recognize and admire.
