Summary

"Presents Haller's journal of the 1872-1874 Austro-Hungarian expedition under Weyprecht and Payer to the region north of Novaya Zemlya, with the discovery and exploration of Franz Josef Land ... From Haller's earlier work with Payer on a national boundary survey in the Alps, he was selected as huntsman and manager of the dog teams (Alpine and Lapland breeds). Biographical notes and brief summary of the expedition precede the journal ... from the beginning of Haller's active participation in preparations for the journey in April, 1872, to the return to Vienna in Sept. 1874. The journal entries are mainly of such daily concerns as weather, the ice pack and the ship frozen in, encounters with polar bears, condition of the men and their work; the discovery and naming of Franz Josef Land and Cape Wilczek, and the trials of the long sled and boat journey from the abandoned Tegetthoff to Novaya Zemlya are recorded"--Arctic bibliography, v. 10 (1961), pages 387-398, entry 58500.
