The book, which has contributions by four authors, is
divided into 10 chapters, five of which, as well as the
Introduction, are written by 0ystein Kock Johansen, a
well-known archaeologist who has specialised in Nordic
and maritime archaeology. Johansen's first chapter is
about the ninth-century voyages of Ottar the Viking, who
is credited with sailing both to the White Sea and to the
Wessex of King Alfred. The next chapter looks at the
Norse discovery of the New World. Johansen indicates
that,
according
to the
Greenlandersaga,
Bjarni Herj61fsson
was the first Norse mariner to sight the east coast of North
America, some time around 986. However, both that and
the other great Vinland saga,
Eirik's saga,
agree that
around the year
1000
Leif Eiriksson was the first European
to go ashore in the New World, landing most likely on
Baffin Island (which
he
named Helluland), Labrador (which
he called Markland), and, finally, Newfoundland (his
famous Vinland).
In the next five chapters, the other three authors deal
with polar exploration. Henrik Ulven writes about Jens
Munk's Northwest Passage expedition of 1619-20, on
which only three of the original 65 men survived the
scurvy that appeared during their wintering at the estuary
of Churchill River on Hudson Bay. Thor
N.
Devig makes
the one Antarctic contribution to the volume with
a
chapter
on Carl Larsen, who, after having served as a sealer and
whaler in the Arctic, was captain of
Antarctic
on Otto
Nordenskjbld's Swedish Antarctic expedition (1901-04)
and then became a pioneer in the Antarctic whaling indus-
try.
There are three chapters by Kare Berg, one about
Fridtjof Nansen's Arctic drift on
Fram
(1893-96), one on
Otto Sverdrup's second
Fram
expedition (1898-1902),
and one on Roald Amundsen's magnificent attainment of
