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.
