		As late as the second half of the nineteenth century, there was still a vestigial belief that north of the Arctic ice lay a warm "Polar Sea." In 1871, the Austrian government dispatched veteran Arctic explorers Julius von Payer and Karl Weyprecht to investigate this possibility.
		The primary aim of the journey was to navigate the north-eastern passage, its actual purpose was the exploration of parts of sea or land northwest of Nowaja Semlja [Payer].
		According to Weyprecht's planning, the North Pole was a secondary target.

		From his experiences in the polar regions Weyprecht became aware that solutions to the fundamental problems of meteorology and geophysics were most likely to be found near the Earth’s poles.
		The key concept of the first IPY was that geophysical phenomena could not be surveyed by one nation alone; rather, an undertaking of this magnitude would require a coordinated international effort.

		Greely was a soldier commanding an official military expedition, sent out by the War Department as part of the first International Polar Year.
		This was the brainchild of Karl Weyprecht, an Austrian naval lieutenant and joint leader of the Austro-Hungarian Arctic expedition that had discovered Franz Josef Land in 1873.
		Alarmed by the nationalism threatening the polyglot Hapsburg Empire, Weyprecht idealistically spurned it in polar exploration.

		It is thus ironic that this expedition became (except for the disappearance of Sir John Franklin and his crew) the most sensational Arctic tragedy of the nineteenth century.
		If the International Polar Year was Weyprecht's idea, it was the visionary scoundrel Henry Howgate who set the specific terms for the Greely project.
