Nordenskiöld is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This detailed work chronicles the first successful circumnavigation of the northern coast of Asia and Europe achieved by the expedition on the vessel Vega, highlighting the geographical discoveries, natural conditions, and peoples encountered throughout the journey. It serves as both a travel narrative and a scientific exploration, reflecting on the challenges faced by previous explorers in these treacherous and uncharted waters. At the start of the book, the author outlines the origins of the Vega expedition, which was built upon prior exploratory efforts in the Siberian Polar Sea, identifying the navigability of previously uncharted waters. Nordenskiöld expresses gratitude for the support received from King Oscar II and other patrons while establishing the goal of the expedition—to find a navigable north-east passage to Asia. The opening chapters introduce the key members of the expedition, the preparations for departure, and the scientific objectives that would guide the crew through their challenging journey around the icy territories, setting the stage for the discoveries to come.
