Abstract
NO such original and assertive explorer of the Arctic regions as Mr. Stefansson has appeared since Dr. Nansen startled the admirals by dispensing with a line of retreat. Mr. Stefansson's views are however, far more upsetting than those of Dr. Nansen, for he denies practically every theory and many reputed facts regarding the North Polar area, and contemns almost all the long-established methods of Arctic travel.
