Chapter 1: Introduction: Norwegians and Germans in Spitsbergen (Svalbard) -- Part I: Visions of Northeast Land: The Failed Herbert Schröder-Stranz Expedition -- Chapter 2: German Interest in Spitsbergen -- Chapter 3: Herbert Schröder-Stranz's Training Expedition for His Planned Northeast Passage (1912) -- Chapter 4: Three Long Christmas Treks, Wilhelm Eberhard's Disappearance, and Captain Alfred Ritscher's Lonely Journey Across the Ice -- Part II: The Stranded: Seven Men Marooned on an Iced-In Ship and in Hunter's Huts -- Chapter 5: The Remaining Expeditioners: Hermann Rüdiger, Christopher Rave, Einar Rotvold, Knut Stave, August Stenersen, and Julius and Jørgen Jensen -- Chapter 6: The Scramble to Form Rescue Expeditions, and the Plight of the Stranded Expeditioners (February 1913) -- Chapter 7: The Arve Staxrud Expedition Coalesces: Local Norwegian Experts, Sámi Guides, Experienced Sled Dogs, Reliable Reindeer, and an Ice-Worthy Vessel -- Chapter 8: The Stranded Expeditioners' Efforts to Save Themselves, and the Detrimental Rescue Activities of the Kurt Wegener Expedition -- Chapter 9: The Arrival of the Schröder-Stranz Expedition's Four Norwegians in Advent Bay, and the Welcoming of Staxrud's Hertha at Green Harbour -- Part III: Interspecies Cooperation and Perseverance: The Arve Staxrud Rescue Expedition -- Chapter 10: Staxrud's Rescue Expedition: Embarking on the Northward Journey to Treurenberg Bay - with Daniel Nøis, Per Hansen, Klemet Samuelsen, Lussi, and Storm.

This book provides a well-researched, well-structured, interesting, and informative narrative depicting the little-known yet successful efforts of the Captain Arve Staxrud Norwegian Arctic Rescue Expedition of 1913 that searched for and saved members of the Lieutenant Herbert Schröder-Stranz German Arctic Expedition of 1912 in Spitsbergen (Svalbard) The book portrays the cooperative and strategic endeavors of the humans and animals involved in the Staxrud expedition who worked together to save human lives on the icy fjords and glaciers of the far north during an unseasonable time of year for exploratory expeditions. It examines and analyzes the unpreparedness and lack of training that resulted in the failure of the Schröder-Stranz expedition. It compares and contrasts concurrent rescue expeditions that failed, including the Kurt Wegener expedition and the Theodor Lerner expedition. It describes the crucial role of animals in both the Norwegian and German expeditions, as well as German interest and Norwegian activity in Spitsbergen leading up to the expeditions. And it reconstructs the interaction and organization of principal officers, overwintering experts, Norwegians, Sámi, draft reindeer teams, and experienced sledge dogs who made the Staxrud rescue mission a success and who created and enabled improved search and rescue capabilities for Spitsbergen and for the future of the Arctic archipelago.
