Excerpt from Among the Northern Icebergs A library for American youth, which embraces accounts. of the people, climate, scenery, and productions of many lands, would scarcely be complete did it not include a work upon the north polar region of the American continent. This little volume partly answers that purpose. Its limits are too narrow to admit even a mere resume of the history of Arctic exploration, which covers a period of several centuries. And since the work is particularly for English readers, it has been limited to accounts of the expeditions which have been sent into polar waters by England and the United States. Information for the work has been gathered from numerous sources, but upon no other work has so heavy a contribution been levied as upon Captain Richard Perry's "History of Arctic Explorations" - a recent issue covering the entire field of such expeditions.

Excerpt from Visit to the Glaciers of Alaska and Mount St. Elias To those among my audience who were present two years ago when a paper on the same region was read by Mr. Seton-karr to the Society, I can, I fear, offer little that is new. They will, however, have, at least this advantage, they know exactly whe1e Mount St. Elias is situated. To those who may not, I will premise that to reach Alaska, they must cross first the Atlantic Ocean to Montreal, and then the American continent to Victoria in British Columbia, and then go up the Pacific coast by sea for a thousand miles, in order to find themselves at Sitka, the capital of Alaska. Not very far from Sitka is Glacier Bay. To the west of this is Cross Sound, and it is to the north-west of Cross Sound that the mountain range lies which it is my purpose to describe to-night. Into Glacier Bay many large glaciers descend, only one of which, the Muir, has been explored. It is 30 miles long, and its breadth, where it runs out into the sea, is one mile. It is decreasing very rapidly, so rapidly, indeed, that the sailors assert that they can, year after year, clearly distinguish the difference in its size. The height of the ice-wall at the foot of the glacier, where it is washed by the sea, was 319 feet m 1886, whilst last year it was 266 feet, a decrease of 53 feet. The centre of the glacier moves 70 feet per day, which 1s equal to five miles a year. This will be appreciated better if it is remembered that the Mer de Glace in Switzerland moves 1% foot per day, and the Aar Glacier 55 feet per year. We went up on to the ice to visit a cairn which the captain of our ship had previously erected for the purpose of ascertaining the rate of motion of the glacier. We found it almost overthrown into a crevasse, so we re-erected it and took sextant bearings from it to various peaks, for use this summer.

Excerpt from Report of the International Ice Patrol Service in the North Atlantic Ocean: Season of 1999 The 1999 ice year will be recorded as one of the mildest in International Ice Patrol's history. In fact, it was so mild that Ice Patrol never formally opened the iceberg season and issued no formal iceberg warnings. What made the year even more remarkable was that repeated reconnaissance flights by iip and the Canadian Ice Service and numerous reports from shipping documented a very large population north of 48°n. The icebergs south of s2on were confined to the bight of Newfoundland (the area between Funk Island and Cape Bauld) and in the northern arm of the Gulf of St. Lawrence (figure Very few icebergs escaped this region, and ultimately they deteriorated in place.

This is the story of the most famous iceberg of all time--the iceberg that has gripped the imagination of the world, that humbled human technology and dramatized the wonders and dangers of the North Atlantic Ocean. Author Richard Brown uses the iceberg's story to present the natural history of the Arctic Ocean and the North Atlantic at the turn of the twentieth century. A rich panoply of birds, whales, bears, seals and other ships cross the path of the iceberg. With an expert's understanding of natural history and an authentic storyteller's voice, Brown weaves these storylines together as the iceberg slowly drifts away from Greenland and down the coast of Labrador to its fateful encounter with the world's most famous ship. With extensive illustrations drawn from volumes of exploration and natural history of the period, this is a beautiful and compelling read. First published in 1983 and championed by publishers worldwide, this reprint of the original edition is accompanied by a brief biographical note on Richard Brown's career as a research scientist working for the Canadian Wildlife Service.

Excerpt from The Fisheries and Fishery Industries of the United States It is now nearly four hundred years Since these grounds were first fished upon by Europeans, and their resources are still unfailing; but the fishing interests have been mainly transferred to the New World, France alone of European countries having continued to send fishing vessels across the Atlantic down to 1880. Since then, however, the Portuguese have begun to exhibit some activity in connection with the cod fishery of the Grand Bank, and in the Spring and sum mer of 1885 bought several New England fishing schooners and fitted out others from home ports. Their voyages proving generally successful, they have added more vessels to their fishing fleet during the latter part of this year, and it is quite possible that, in the course of a few seasons.
