Weyprecht, Karl

Born Sept. 8, 1838, in König, Hesse; died Mar. 28, 1881, in Michelstadt, Hesse. Austrian polar explorer.

In the years 1872-74, Weyprecht and J. Payer headed an expedition on the ship Tegetthoff that was to make the northeast passage from the Barents Sea to the Bering Strait. The ship was icebound at Novaia Zemlia. For 372 days the expedition drifted north and northeast and during this period discovered land which was named Franz Josef Land after the emperor of Austria. During his stay in the Arctic, Weyprecht made a number of valuable scientific observations relating to geophysics and studied the characteristics of polar ice.
