Inhoud:

From 1850 to 1854 H.M.S. Investigator searched the Western Arctic for a lost expedition. Eventually Investigator was abandoned in the ice. This 1857 publication by the ship's surgeon and naturalist is a first-hand account of the harsh conditions that the crew endured, and testifies to their 'heroism, devotion, and endurance'.
