nature feems to keep the elements in an unvaried ftate of vigor and adivity. The more I revolved thefe ideas in my mind, the more anxioufly I courted an op- portunity of afcertaining their veracity v^^ith my own eyes. I wifhed to furvey the cli- mates in the vicinity of the pole, in their whole extent north and fouth, to compare them, and to contraft their peculiarities with thofe of the torrid zone, all round the globe, for the accomplifhment of which purpofes, there was now but little wanting...^ except a voyage to the north feas. As I wifhed likewife to bring under one view the various obftacles ariling from the ice^ which have impeded the refearches of navi- gators in thofe feas, I was prepared to con- tinue my voyage northward to as high a latitude as pofiible; and having heard of no navigator whatever, who had taken the fmallefl; notice of the different expedi- ents that might be oppofed to the difficulties of the ice, by fuch as would penetrate lo the pole, I was much inclined to think I (hould be able to fupply this defeft in the 5 annals VOYAGE TO THE NORTH POLE, I49 annals of navigation.
