Mirage in the Arctic by Ejnar Mikkelsen Book PDF Summary

Danish explorer Ejnar Mikkelsen, intrigued by rumours of undiscovered islands north of Alaska, resolved to find them. An inveterate optimist, he steadfastly believed that if these places existed he would be the one to discover them. In Vancouver he purchased an antique motorless schooner, the Duchess of Bedford, and set out for Alaska. The Anglo- American Expedition, as it was named, was plagued by one misfortune after another. By the time he reached Alaska his crew was mutinous. In October 1907, Mikkelson set out alone on a 2,500 mile sledge journey to the South. This is an account of that epic trip. It is perhaps the last authentic record of exploration in the area during the days of the sledge and the Gold Rushes.
