A leading Arctic navigator, William Edward Parry (1790–1855) set out to reach the North Pole in 1826. Using sledge-boats, his expedition attained a record latitude that stood for nearly fifty years. This illustrated account, published in 1828, offers insights into the nature of Arctic travel, exploration and survival.
