Produced by Tapio Riikonen "Opiksi ja huviksi: Lukemisia Suomen perheille" by Yrjö Sakari Yrjö-Koskinen is a collection of readings likely written in the mid-19th century. The work appears to be aimed at Finnish families, providing insights and stories related to exploration and geography, particularly focusing on Arctic expeditions and the experiences of sailors. The book not only chronicles the adventures of these expeditions but also highlights aspects of Finnish and English maritime history. The opening of the collection introduces the narrative of the wintering of English ships Hekla and Griper in the vicinity of Melville Island during the years 1819-1820. It delves into the trials faced by the crew, describing extreme cold, the challenges of navigating ice-laden waters, and their eventual establishment of a winter harbor. The narrative is rich with historical context, emphasizing the perseverance and resilience of those involved in Arctic exploration, and sets the tone for further discussions on past voyages and the quest for a Northwest Passage.
