I've read two chapters so far for today's work. Again , what I've read and what I've been reading lately is all about the novel named In the Kingdom of Ice. What I've learned from the chapters are that De Long , one of the main characters , have had the ship by which a great expedition to the Arctic is planned renewed and refurbished , so that it will be capable to sustain in the severity due to the North Pole.An important part of the renewal is the application of arc light , when there was no incandescent light available at that time since Edison was still on the go of inventing it , and the ordinary burning fuel that spreads out light which illuminates the way for the expedition.There are also some other staff constituting the entirety of the planning for the long journey. After everything gets ready , all the members are confident for this valiant endeavor.
