Description

Travel to the North Pole remains the ultimate challenge for intrepid adventurers; this tome takes readers along on ten daring nineteenth century expeditions through firsthand accounts and striking archival images. This exceptional volume showcases ten major international arctic expeditions carried out between 1818 and 1876, tracing the journeys of courageous explorers from the United States, England, Scotland, Ireland, and France. These courageous nautical pioneers braved icy conditions and the vast unknown in search of the coveted northern passage. Through text drawn from journals and travel logs, readers gain firsthand insight into fascinating figures—Sir Edward Parry, Sir John Ross, Sir John Franklin, Joseph-René Bellot, John Rae, Sir Francis Leopold McClintock, Elisha Kent Kane, Charles Francis Hall, and Sir Georges Nares—as well as the epic expedition onboard the H.M.S. Investigator. The beautifully produced and oversized volume features illustrations, engravings, maps, and rare documents from the author’s personal collection of rare books and source documents. Above all, this tome serves as a reminder that beyond the purely commercial goals of the quest to create a northern trade route, the Arctic and the North Pole have always fueled the imagination, inspiring the most extreme nineteenth-century expeditions by courageous explorers who were driven by an insatiable thirst for new territories.
