The Dangerous Journey to Discover the North Pole⭐World Discovery Story⭐@WowStoryBook

Описание: Welcome to @WowStoryBook!
At the very top of the world there is a point with no land beneath it — the North Pole sits on shifting sea ice above four thousand meters of freezing water and for a hundred years it was the most dangerous and most coveted geographical prize on earth. More men died trying to reach it than died in many wars. Franklin sailed north in 1845 with a hundred and twenty-nine men and the most advanced ships ever built for the Arctic and none of them came back. Nansen froze his ship in the Arctic ice deliberately and drifted across the top of the world and walked to eighty-six degrees north — the furthest any human had ever stood — before the ice forced him to turn back. And then came Peary and Cook and the most acrimonious priority dispute in the history of polar exploration — both claiming to have reached the pole, neither claim fully verified, the controversy still alive today. The North Pole was finally overflown by Amundsen's airship in 1926 and reached by surface vessel in 1977. And now the ice that killed so many people trying to cross it is melting. This is the complete extraordinary story.
