es of Winter-Quarters" to
match the chapter title.

Part I.

Chapter 2: The letter says the large Danish dog will arrive on the
15th of February. In chapter 3 the dog arrives on the 15th of March
"as the captain's letter had said." Other versions have the same
inconsistency.

Chapter 5: In the discussion of steamers, the doctor observes of the
_Fox_ that MacClintock "succeeded in making his way more easily and
more directly than all his successors." Other translations say
"predecessors" which makes more sense.

Chapter 5: On April 14 the longitude given is 22 degrees 37 minutes.
Other versions give 22 degrees 58 minutes. Other versions agree that
the latitude is 51 degrees--which hardly seems possible for a ship
leaving Ireland at nearly 56 degrees latitude and sailing northwest.
57 degrees seems more likely. A few days later the latitude is further
confused during the discussion of iceberg sightings. The doctor states
that they are two degrees further north than a sighting of icebergs
occurring at 42 degrees latitude, apparently confusing the _Forward's_
latitude with that of the _Ann Poole_.

Chapter 6: In the remembrance of Parry's expedition into Lancaster
Sound, mention is made of the prize for crossing a meridian at higher
than the seventy-seventh parallel. Here the specific meridian is left
out, which is not very informative. In the French version, it is the
170th meridian, which is clearly wrong. The Ward and Lock translation
changes it to the 117th meridian. Historically, the prize was for the
110th meridian.

Chapter 8: On Saturday, the temperature is stated to have fallen to 8
degrees above zero. The French and Routledge translation state 8
degrees below zero. This makes more sense since the previous
temperature cited, from which it had fallen, was 6 degrees above zero.

Chapter 8: The block of ice which turns upside down is stated to be
800 feet high. This appears to be a mistranslation of the French;
other translations have it as at least a hundred feet high.

Chapter 9: According to this translation, the _Forward_ crosses the
62nd parallel on May 5. This is clearly incorrect since the ship is
north of its May 1 latitude of 68 degrees. Other versions have this as
the 72nd parallel. This agrees with the accompanying map.

Chapter 10: Although "the Governor was born on the island of Disco,
and he has never left the place," the landing party meets him at
Upernavik which is well north of the island
