In 1881 the USS Jeanette was trapped in pack ice and abandoned off the coast of Siberia north of the Bering Sea.. In 1884 her wreck was sighted trapped in  ice flows off the coast of Greenland, Her lonely three year journey carried her across the apex of the world locked in the torpid motion of Arctic sea-ice 26 years before man would reach the pole.
