Western Franz Josef Land, 1899. Map showing discoveries and sledge journeys from 1894 to 1897. From an account of the Jackson-Harmsworth Expedition to Franz-Josef Land in the Arctic. The three-year expedition established that Franz Josef Land was in fact a small archipelago rather than a land mass that extended to the North Pole, as its leader, Frederick George Jackson, had believed.
