Описание: H. J. Bull`s lively 1896 book describes a commercially funded expedition to Antarctica to investigate reports of right whales in the Ross Sea.

Volume 1 describes Jukes` arrival in Newfoundland, its rugged landscapes, and the daily life of settlers in its coastal fishing communities.
Описание: This detailed eye-witness account, first published anonymously in 1819, describes Sir John Ross` abortive expedition to search for the North-West Passage. Its evidence about how the mission was abandoned at Lancaster Sound differed markedly from Ross` own report, published the same year amid controversy, and also reissued in this series.
Описание: Written by expedition commander George Nares, this 1878 two-volume journal recounts the 1875-6 British Arctic expedition`s attempt to reach the North Pole. Volume 2 describes the perilous return journey. It includes extensive appendices, giving details of the expedition`s scientific discoveries, and features a cumulative index.
Описание: Explorer James Clark Ross (1800-1862) published this two-volume account of his 1839-1843 expedition to the Antarctic in 1847. The work, which includes oceanic and climatic observations, is an important contribution to the development of oceanography and scientific knowledge about the Antarctic.
Описание: Published in 1884 and illustrated with over 100 of his own drawings and maps, this two-volume work by the doctor and naturalist Robert McCormick (1800–90) provides an account of his voyages in the Arctic with William Parry and in the Antarctic with James Clark Ross, noting also his part in the search for Sir John Franklin. Incorporating a very detailed autobiography, McCormick's work also provides many details relating to natural history and geology. Volume 1 is mainly devoted to his Antarctic voyage (1839–43), during which he also visited St Helena, the Kerguelen Islands, Australia, New Zealand, the Falkland Islands and Tierra del Fuego. The volume ends with the abortive attempt in 1827 to reach the North Pole via Spitsbergen. Volume 2 describes his role in the 1852–4 mission to find Franklin in the Arctic, including an open boat voyage up the Wellington Channel. This is followed by McCormick's autobiography, tracing his struggles to gain promotion in his naval career.
Описание: Published in 1857, this is the journal of George Frederick McDougall (c.1825-71). He served as master aboard H.M.S. Resolute, a merchant ship purchased by the Royal Navy and sent to the Arctic in 1852-4 in search of the missing expedition of Sir John Franklin.
Описание: This book takes the form of letters written to his brother by an anonymous officer on Edward Parry`s 1819-20 Arctic voyage. It was brought out in 1821 by the enterprising publisher Richard Phillips, and is full of striking details, such as a verse description of the aurora borealis.
Описание: Originally published in 1884 and illustrated with his maps and drawings, this two-volume work by the doctor and naturalist Robert McCormick (1800-90) describes polar voyages with William Parry and James Clark Ross.
