Hardcover. Condizione: 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 Long regarded as a classic of polar exploration literature, the work stands as both an important historical document and a compelling chronicle of human endurance at the edge of the known world.
