Their steamer was frozen into the ice off Franz Joseph Land and only freed after a great struggle. With the propeller broken she managed to make a southward course with the aid of sails until she arrived off Green Harbour, Spitzbergen, where she was taken in, tow for Tromsoe. The expedition found conditions more difficult than expected. The expedition will be renewed in 1926.
