About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1882 Excerpt: ...for acquiring heat as now, it appears that the temperature of extensive northern lauds has been slowly lowering. This lowering temperature has probably been brought about through the independent circulation of the arctic seas. The channels which now lead into Davis Strait afford a passage for the waters of the high sea-level which exists to the north of Europe, to the low sea-level abreast Newfoundland; this difference of ocean-levels being created by strong westerly winds which--as I have before explained--blow the surface waters of the Atlantic from the North American coasts over against the shores of Northern Europe. Therefore, a large portion of the waters of the high sea-level thus created, return through the arctic seas and its channels down through Davis Strait, at the same time carrying with them the coldness acquired from their arctic passage. The great amount of cold water thus poured against the Gulf Stream tends to force it away from the American shores and the coast of Greenland, and so largely prevents the warm waters from entering the polar seas; and it is probable that the arctic channels have served, ever since the ice-sheets of the last great northern ice period were melted away, to keep up the independent circulation of the arctic waters, so that there has been a gradual increase of cold in countries situated in high northern latitudes. The historical evidences of Greenland and Iceland possessing a mild climate seven centuries ago, shows that there has been some cold agent acting on those regions since that time. In fact, the climate of Northern Europe has long been accused of growing colder, and, as far as I know, history gives no account of a country situated in high northern latitudes of having possessed a colder climate than it has be...
