1898- Cape D'Urville: Mind
on the Future
“At 11:30 P. M. of the 18th the Windward had worried her way across the bay to a little parch of open water close under Cape D’Urville. Here further progress was stopped by a large ice floe, several miles across, one end resting against the shore, the other extending into the heavy ice… Septermber 12th, one-third of my provisions, an ample year’s supply for an entire party, was landed at Cape D’Urville… preparations for the winter [and further campaigns] commenced.” -Robert E. Peary in Nearest the Pole, published in 1907
