The Austro-Hungarian expedition led by Admiral Tegetthoff and supported by Emperor Franz Joseph I aimed to discover the Northeast Passage and reach the North Pole. Launched in 1872, the expedition quickly became trapped in the ice, yet continued navigating through the Arctic Ocean for weeks, exploring the archipelago despite harsh conditions. Although it didn't reach the North Pole, this expedition contributed to mapping uncharted areas and enhancing understanding of polar regions, representing a bold endeavor in discovery and exploration under extreme circumstances.
