Summary: "With Ski & Sledge Over Arctic Glaciers" by Sir Martin Conway is a travel narrative and exploration account written in the late 19th century. The volume recounts Conway's experiences and observations during an expedition through the Arctic regions, focusing particularly on Spitsbergen, where he and his companions set out to explore the glaciers and landscapes. This work serves as a continuation of his previous account, "The First Crossing of Spitsbergen," and delves into the beauty and challenges faced in the harsh Arctic environment. The opening of the book establishes the setting as the expedition begins on July 9, 1897, with Conway, his companion E.J. Garwood, and two Norwegian men arriving at Advent Bay. They camp while awaiting a steamer to transport them further; however, they later receive help from a German hunting party which facilitates their journey to Klaas Billen Bay. The description in the beginning emphasizes the stunning beauty of the Arctic landscape, filled with details of flora, fauna, and the mesmerizing glaciers. As the narrative unfolds, it sets the stage for their challenges and the adventurous spirit of exploration, laying a foundation for the trials they will face on their journey up the Nordenskiöld Glacier toward the unknown interior of this icy frontier.
