开放的极地海是19世纪北极探险中最流行的神话之一。有几位探险家曾假设格陵兰岛和北极之间有一片不结冰的海域，于是有几支探险队出发去寻找，其中一支由美国医生兼探险家艾萨克·伊斯雷尔·海斯（Isaac Israel Hayes，1832- 1881）策划和领导。这篇关于这次探险的报道首次发表于1866年，是根据他的日记汇编而成的。海耶斯和他的船员乘坐一艘小型纵帆船离开波士顿，船上的设备超载，乘客可以俯身在甲板栏杆上触摸大海，他们几乎面临着在新斯科舍省的沉船事故，在前往格陵兰岛的途中，他们经常看到他们的船舱被淹没，在那里，在平静的天气里，他们遇到了第一个宏伟的浮冰。这本书是为一般读者而不是为科学目的而写的，它仍然是一本容易理解的、有趣的航行指南。
The Open Polar Sea was one of the most prevalent myths of nineteenth-century Arctic exploration. Several explorers had hypothesised a stretch of ice-free sea between Greenland and the North Pole, and several expeditions set out in search of it. One of these was planned and led by Isaac Israel Hayes (1832–81), an American physician and explorer. This account of the expedition, first published in 1866, was compiled from his journals. Having left Boston in a small schooner so overloaded with equipment that a passenger could lean over the deck rail and touch the sea, Hayes and his crew almost faced shipwreck off Nova Scotia and regularly saw their cabins flooded on their way to Greenland, where, in calmer weather, they encountered the first palatial ice floes. Written for the general reader rather than for scientific purposes, this book still serves as an accessible, entertaining guide to the voyage.
