Arctic Exploration

J. Douglas Hoare's book Arctic Exploration provides a historical chronicle of the expeditions and travels of many explorers in the Arctic. The early explorations of explorers like Hudson, Phipps, and Nelson, as well as those of Buchan and Franklin, are covered in the book. Along with the accounts of Franklin's overland trek and Parry's North-West expeditions, it also tells the tales of Ross' unsuccessful efforts and Parry's achievements. The second land excursion of Franklin and Parry's North Polar trip is also covered in the book. The tale also includes Ross's exploits on board the Victory, Back's two excursions, and Dease and Simpson's findings. The book also includes information on Sverdrup and Peary's following excursions, as well as current expeditions like those led by Abruzzi, Wellmann, and Toll, and the Jackson-Harmsworth mission. The book Arctic Exploration gives a thorough overview of the Arctic region's travels as well as the difficulties the explorers encountered while trying to learn and find new things.
