Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an account of two summer voyages undertaken in 1895 and 1897 to Novaya Zemlya and other countries bordering the Barents Sea by a party of four British explorers. Alongside descriptive passages of their travels and encounters, the author and his companions provide detailed ornithological reports on the birds they encountered, including descriptions of their egg-laying and breeding habits. Further ornithological interest also includes discussions on species such as the Bewick's Swan, which was described as rare at the time. A variety of scientific knowledge is presented, including geology, botany, and zoology in addition to the study of birdlife. The reader is provided with interesting and useful information on these subjects, such as the author's notes on mosquito bites and the effects of exposure to the cold on his party.
