This map is intended primarily to illustrate the narrative of 

 Stefansson's journeys during the time covered by this book (1906-7), 

 but an attempt is also made to indicate graphically some of the 

 results of his later expeditions — those of 1908-12 and 1913-18. 



The dotted land areas are islands the existence of which was not 

 previously known — islands both discovered and explored. Heavy 

 black shading shows features previously known to exist but where 

 Stefansson's work has resulted in fundamental changes in the maps. 

 The barred areas at sea extend 25 miles each way from Stefansson's 

 routes on journeys where he traversed previously unexplored regions 

 (on the 1913-18 expedition).
