The appendix was printed in fewer numbers than the full narrative and is a scarce text in complete form. Contains additional accounts of the native populations of the arctic region and samples of their language. John Ross (1777-1856) a British naval officer and explorer, undertook a second Arctic voyage in 1829-33 aboard the steam-assisted paddle vessel Victory, pursuing the Northwest Passage after his disputed 1818 findings. Entering Prince Regent Inlet, Ross wintered at Felix Harbour on the Boothia Peninsula, where his nephew James Clark Ross made the major geographical discovery of the North Magnetic Pole in 1831. Ice pressure trapped Victory for multiple seasons and forced a prolonged retreat by boat and sled to Lancaster Sound, where the party was eventually rescued by a whaling ship in 1833; despite the loss of the vessel, the expedition produced valuable magnetic and cartographic data and rehabilitated Ross's standing within the British scientific and naval community.

John Ross (1777-1856) a British naval officer and explorer. He led the First British Arctic Expedition in 1818 aboard HMS Isabella with HMS Alexander in consort, tasked by the British Admiralty with surveying Baffin Bay and assessing the viability of a Northwest Passage. Sailing via Davis Strait, Ross charted coastal features, made contact with Inuit communities near Cape York, and gathered valuable hydrographic and ethnographic data, but controversially reported a chain of supposed high mountains-the "Croker Mountains"-barring the entrance to Lancaster Sound, prompting him to turn back. Although the voyage confirmed much of the early Baffin Bay geography, Ross's decision to withdraw and the disputed mountain sighting drew criticism at home and later spurred further expeditions, most notably William Edward Parry's successful transit into Lancaster Sound in 1819, which effectively disproved Ross's claimed barrier. Full title: A Voyage Of Discovery, Made Under The Orders Of The Admiralty, In His Majesty's Ships Isabella And Alexander, For The Purpose Of Exploring Baffin's Bay, And Inquiring Into The Probability Of A North-West Passage.
