Abstract
When the Association of German Natural Philosophers and Physicists met for their forty-eighth annual meeting in September 1875, one of the topics on the agenda was the future of Arctic exploration.¹ The Austro-Hungarian naval officer Karl Weyprecht (1838–1881) had recently returned from the Arctic, but when he addressed the large audience as the second presenter on the first day of the meeting, his aim was not simply to provide an account of the results from his polar travels.
