Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has signed inside page, now covered with blank ex libris bookplate sticker. Interior and binding are still very good.

This book chronicles the journey of McClure and his crew aboard the HMS Investigator as they attempted to find the elusive Northwest Passage in the Arctic region.

The book is based on McClure's personal journals and recounts the challenges and dangers encountered during the expedition, including harsh weather conditions, treacherous ice floes, and encounters with indigenous people.

The book also offers insight into the political and economic motivations behind the search for the Northwest Passage and the expedition's impact on the British Empire. First published in 1857.
