Publisher's Synopsis
""An Arctic Voyage to Baffin's Bay and Lancaster Sound: In Search of Friends with Sir John Franklin"" is a historical account of Robert Anstruther Goodsir's expedition to the Arctic in search of Sir John Franklin and his crew, who had disappeared while attempting to find the Northwest Passage. The book is a first-hand account of the journey, detailing the challenges and dangers faced by the crew as they navigated the treacherous Arctic waters and encountered hostile Inuit tribes. Goodsir's descriptions of the Arctic landscape and wildlife are vivid and evocative, and his observations on the Inuit way of life offer a fascinating glimpse into a culture that was largely unknown to Europeans at the time. The book also includes detailed maps and illustrations, as well as a wealth of scientific data on the flora and fauna of the region. Overall, ""An Arctic Voyage to Baffin's Bay and Lancaster Sound"" is a compelling and informative account of one of the most daring and tragic expeditions in Arctic history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
