In the nineteenth century, scientists thought that the North Pole was ice-free and that ice came from rivers. This book, published in 1818, defends the inaccurate climate theory resulting from these misconceptions and links the harsh European winters of 1815-17 to the break-up and southward drift of Arctic ice.
