Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an account of two summer voyages undertaken in 1895 and 1897 to Novaya Zemlya and other countries bordering the Barents Sea by a party of four British explorers. Alongside descriptive passages of their travels and encounters, the author and his companions provide detailed ornithological reports on the birds they encountered, including descriptions of their egg-laying and breeding habits. Further ornithological interest also includes discussions on species such as the Bewick's Swan, which was described as rare at the time. A variety of scientific knowledge is presented, including geology, botany, and zoology in addition to the study of birdlife. The reader is provided with interesting and useful information on these subjects, such as the author's notes on mosquito bites and the effects of exposure to the cold on his party. The book is also valuable for its record of meteorological data, including ice conditions and wind direction.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 3rd Edition. A cornerstone account of one of the most ambitious Arctic undertakings of the nineteenth century, Sir George Naress Narrative of a Voyage to the Polar Sea documents the 1875-76 British expedition in H.M. Ships Alert and Discovery. Conceived to push farther north than any previous attempt, the expedition combined geographical exploration with extensive scientific observation, charting new high-latitude regions while conducting studies in geology, zoology, meteorology, and sea-ice conditions. Nares's detailed narrative, together with Feilden's natural history notes, offers a vivid record of extreme polar travel, overwintering in the High Arctic, sledge journeys toward the Pole, and the challenges faced by crew and scientists alike. Long regarded as a classic of polar exploration literature, the work stands as both an important historical document and a compelling chronicle of human endurance at the edge of the known world. Narrative of A Voyage to the Polar Sea During 1875-6 in H.M. Ships 'Albert' and 'Discovery', by Capt. Sir G.S. Nares, R.N., K.C.B., F.R.S., Commander of the Expedition.
