Second edition, published in the same year as the first. This is a record of the lectures given by the Duke of the Abruzzi and Umberto Cagni about their North Polar Expedition in 1899 and 1900. The expedition, on the Stella Polare, reached 86° 34'N and thereby surpassed the highest northern latitude previously attained by Nansen in 1895. This text is reprinted from the Bollettino della Società Geographica Italiana, and appeared some two years before the official expedition account La "Stella Polare" nel mare artico, 1899-1900 (Milan, 1903).
Prince Luigi Amedeo, Duke of the Abruzzi, (1873-1933) was an Italian mountaineer and explorer. A member of the royal House of Savoy, he was briefly an Infante of Spain as the son of Amadeo I of Spain, and a cousin to King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy.
