The Mystery of Andree
This website was developed from newspaper
articles related to polar exploration which were collected by L. L.
Dyche, a professor at the University of Kansas. They were found in Dyche's
scrapbooks which are available at Spencer Research Library at the University
of Kansas. These scrapbooks cover the exploits of many different polar
explorers, though the PRISM project has only transcribed those pertaining
to S. A. Andree. If you would like to help us complete transcriptions
on other polar explorers of the 1800s, please let us know.
The following articles tell the story of
the polar expedition led by Salomon August Andree, who tried to reach
the North Pole in the late 1800's. Previous explorers had tried to reach
the pole via ship and/or sled dogs. Andree decided to try to reach the
pole by air. These articles can be used by teachers to meet National
Science Standards (e.g., Science and Technology in Society, Science
as Human Endeavor, and Nature of Scientific Knowledge).
