Abstract
IN this pamphlet the author repeats the substance of a lecture delivered in 1868, the object of which was to show that the continuations of the warm Gulf Stream of the Atlantic, and of the Japan current in the Pacific, afford the only practicable avenues by which ships can enter an assumed open sea round the North Pole; and points out how the more recent Arctic explorations have confirmed the views then advanced.
Thermal Paths to the Pole.
An Address delivered before the St. Louis Mercantile Library Association in January 1872. By Silas Bent.
