What happens when you set off on an expedition to find an ice-free passage east of Russia, only to discover that the Arctic is, in fact, absolutely full of ice? In this first part of our two-parter, we travel back to 1872 and the Austro-Hungarian North Pole Expedition that would lead to the discovery of Franz Josef Land. Carmen and Stephen delve into the ambitious plans behind the voyage, marvel at the sheer number of Antonios among the crew, and commiserate with the explorers enduring months of darkness, freezing temperatures, and generally miserable conditions. Stephen also tries his hand at a new Viennese expression, because even in the Arctic, there's always time for a bit of Schmäh. And just as things get interesting, we leave you hanging in a proper Hängepartie until next time.
