Описание: Finding a way through the North-West Passage had defeated Arctic explorers during the nineteenth century.

Описание: The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts of exploration.

Описание: In 1746, a privately funded expedition set out from England in search of the North-West Passage. While the expedition was unsuccessful in locating the sea route, it travelled further north than any previous attempt. First published in 1748, this account by Henry Ellis (1721-1806) generated great interest.
Описание: Published under a pseudonym in 1824 by Bounty mutineer and naval hydrographer Peter Heywood (1772-1831), this short work surveys accounts of recent Arctic expeditions and concludes that, despite the probable existence of a sea route from the Atlantic to the Pacific, the icy waters would not be navigable for ships.
Описание: William Edward Parry (1790-1855) led three expeditions in search of the North-West Passage. This 1824 publication describes the second (1821-3), which included two winters on the ice. It documents Parry`s leadership style, the practicalities of early Arctic exploration, and the language and customs of the local `Esquimaux`.
Описание: This account, published in 1821, describes the first of Parry`s three voyages in search of the North-West Passage. Although unsuccessful, the experience gained, the scientific data collected, and the mapping of the islands in the region made it one of the most important Arctic expeditions up to that time.
