What reading level is The North Pole book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On my variousexpeditions I had walked every foot of the coast line, from Payer Harboron the south to Cape Joseph Henry on the north, from three to eighttimes. I knew every indentation of that coast, every possible shelterfor a ship, every place where icebergs usually grounded, and the placeswhere the tide ran strongest, as accurately as a tugboat captain in NewYork harbor knows the piers of the North River water front. WhenBartlett was in doubt as to making a risky run, with the chance of notfi...nding shelter for the ship, I could usually say to him: "At such and such a place, so far from here, is a little niche behindthe delta of a stream, where we can drive the _Roosevelt_ in, ifnecessary"; or: "Here icebergs are almost invariably grounded, and we can find shelterbehind them"; or: "Here is a place absolutely to be shunned, for the floes pile up here atthe slightest provocation, in a way that would destroy any ship afloat. " It was this detailed knowledge of every foot of the Ellesmere Land andGrant Land coasts, combined with Bartlett's energy and ice experience, that enabled us to pass four times between this arctic Scylla andCharybdis.
