Wikipedia, December 20, 2019: ("The Austro-Hungarian North Pole expedition was an expedition that ran from 1872-74 and discovered Franz-Josef Land. According to Julius von Payer, one of the leaders, its purpose was to find the Northeast Passage. It actually explored the area northwest of Novaya Zemlya. According to the other leader, Karl Weyprecht, the North Pole was a secondary target ... The main ship was the Tegetthoff ... The Tegetthoff with her crew of 24 left Tromsø, Norway in July 1872. At the end of August she got locked in pack ice north of Novaya Zemlya and drifted to hitherto unknown polar regions. While drifting, the explorers discovered an archipelago which they named Franz-Josef Land after Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph I. Payer led several sledge expeditions to explore the new-discovered lands, on one of them reaching 81° 50ʹ north. In May 1874 boat captain Weyprecht decided to abandon the ice-locked ship and try to return by sledges and boats. On 14 August 1874 the expedition reached the open sea and later Novaya Zemlya where they were rescued by a Russian fishing vessel. On 3 September they reached Vardø in Finnmark, Northern Norway. The expedition returned to Austria by coastal steamer from Vardø and by train from Hamburg")
