As Payer wrote, "Our ideal aim was the north-east passage, our immediate and definite object was the exploration of the seas and lands on the north-east of Novaya Zemlya." The ship chosen was Tegetthoff, a wooden steamship sheathed in iron and named for the nineteenth-century Austrian Admiral Wilhelm von Tegetthoff.
“Toward the midday –Julius Payer recalled afterwards – we were standing on the deck, leaning on the ship’s board and staring aimlessly at the mist, that had began to dissipate in some spots.
Early in May Payer along with two other people undertook a travel to the West; in the course of the expedition he found out that the newly found land was of enormous extension in that direction.

Yet at two separate locations in the Austrian capital can be found monuments to two highly individual characters who made their names in the frozen wastes of the Arctic Circle.
Our first polar traveller is the Bohemian artist Julius von Payer (1841-1915) whose simply inscribed, monumental headstone can be found close to those of the great composers in Simmering's Central Cemetery (Zentralfriedhof).
It was during this journey that artist von Payer gained inspiration for numerous oil paintings completed on his return to Austria, notably the haunting Nie Zurück (No Return) that now hangs along with other memorabilia from the journey in Vienna's Museum of Military History (Heeresgeschichtliches Museum).
