| Abstract: | Compares drift of Nansen's ship Fram during 1893-96 Arctic expedition, and Shackleton's ship Endurance during 1914-17 Antarctic expedition, with satellite data on ice movements in recent years in Arctic and Antarctic. Draws conclusions about difficulty of surviving such journeys without both luck and skill. |
| Notes: | Offprint: American Scientist. Vol. 97, no. 6. |
