Publisher's Synopsis

A Voyage of Discovery and Research in the Southern and Antarctic Regions V1: During the Years 1839-43 is a book written by James Clark Ross, a British naval officer and explorer. The book, which was first published in 1847, chronicles Ross's expedition to the Southern and Antarctic regions between 1839 and 1843. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which describes a different aspect of the expedition. Ross provides detailed accounts of the geography, geology, and natural history of the regions he explored, as well as the various challenges and dangers that he and his crew faced along the way. Throughout the book, Ross also includes illustrations and maps that help to bring his descriptions to life. These illustrations include depictions of the wildlife and landscapes that he encountered, as well as diagrams of the equipment and instruments that were used during the expedition. Overall, A Voyage of Discovery and Research in the Southern and Antarctic Regions V1 is a fascinating account of one of the most important scientific expeditions of the 19th century. It provides a unique glimpse into a world that was largely unknown at the time, and remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of exploration and scientific discovery.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
