Description:After his expedition for the Admiralty in 1818, John Ross reported that both Smith Sound and Lancaster Sound were enclosed by mountains, a mistake for which he was severely criticised. For his next expedition (1829-33) which was privately sponsored by gin merchant Sir Felix Booth because the Admiralty had rejected his plan, Ross proposed to use a steamship to explore through Prince Regent Inlet.With his nephew James Clark Ross as second-in-command, Ross crossed Boothia Isthmus and reached the magnetic pole but was forced to abandon ship because of scurvy and because the ship was beset by ice. The Rosses and their crew would spend four winters in the Arctic before the whaler Isabella eventually picked them up in Lancaster Sound.First edition here..We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
