R.Walton's journey of discovery to find the North Pole passage is ironically opposite in intent of that of V.Frankenstein's own journey to the same place.
In Walton's case, optimistically adventourous and hopeful journey to open new horizons and to find an illuminating new discovery for the world... a sort of beginning and opening of a new frontier.
In Frankenstein's case, it is journey for closure, not opening. He wishes to destroy and end the path of destruction of his creature upon mankind and his world. One journey is bright and hopeful, the other one is dark and tormented.
