"From the Arctic Ocean to the Yellow Sea: The Narrative of a Journey, in 1890" by Julius M. Price is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. This work recounts the author’s adventurous journey across Siberia, Mongolia, the Gobi Desert, and North China, aiming to document both the landscapes and cultures encountered along the way. Price serves not just as a writer but as a 'special artist,' capturing the essence of his travels through sketches and reflections, providing readers with an intimate glimpse into these lesser-known territories. At the start of the narrative, Price expresses gratitude for the kindness he experienced while traveling in Siberia, setting a tone of appreciation and openness towards different cultures. He elaborates on the motivations behind his journey, hinting at the ambitious goal of establishing a trade route between England and Siberia as part of an expedition supported by various financial backers. As the account unfolds, Price prepares for his adventure aboard the steamer "Biscaya", detailing the multitude of challenges he faces, from difficult travel conditions to the uncertainties of exploring largely uncharted territories. The opening also vividly describes his first impressions of Norway during the voyage, leading to a complex mixture of excitement and trepidation as he sets his sights on the Arctic regions ahead.
