Abstract
THIS book is the diary of a very interesting journey accomplished by the author in the course of the autumn of 1913. In fact, it describes four different journeys: one from Tromsö, via the Kara Sea, to the mouth of the Yenisei; then up the Yenisei to Krasnoyársk; next by rail across Transbaikalia and Manchuria to Vladivostók on the Pacific; and from this port to Petrográd, by the Usuri and the new Amur railway and the main Trans-Siberian, line. A remarkable feature of this journey, during which more than 16,000 miles were covered, is that it was accomplished in less than three months, from August 5, when the party started from Tromsö, to October 27, when Dr. Nansen reached Petrográd.
