| 520 | _a"The Frozen North: An Account of Arctic Exploration for Use in Schools" by Edith Horton is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book aims to educate young readers about the exploration of the Arctic regions, highlighting the significant contributions made by explorers such as Sir John Franklin and Elisha Kent Kane. It delves into the hardships faced during these expeditions, the geography of the North, and the cultures of its inhabitants, making the subject accessible and engaging for school use. At the start of the book, the introduction outlines the challenges and historical context surrounding Arctic exploration. It discusses the vast and largely uncharted territory of the north polar regions, the influence of early navigators, and the motivations behind expeditions to find alternative trade routes. Horton emphasizes the importance of previous explorers in paving the way for current understanding, and introduces future chapters that will detail their individual journeys, struggles, and achievements while igniting curiosity about the mysterious Arctic landscape and its people.
