Publisher's Synopsis

The British Arctic Expedition of 1875-6 was the first major British naval expedition to the high Arctic where science was almost as important as geographical exploration. Henry Wemyss Feilden, an army officer, was chosen as one of two naturalists on board HMS Alert. He kept a detailed daily journal which is presented in this volume, with a detailed introduction by the volume editor, Trevor H. Levere.
