A lieutenant in the Royal Navy, George Back (1796 1878) had already served with John Franklin on two Arctic expeditions in 1819 22 and 1824 26. He volunteered to lead an expedition to find Ross, setting out in 1833. When Ross returned safely in 1834, Back continued his explorations down the unknown Great Fish River and mapped the Arctic coast westwards, travelling some 7,500 miles in total.

Narrative of an Expedition in HMS Terror: Undertaken with a View to Geographical Discovery on the Arctic Shores, in the Years 1836-7
ISBN: 9781108063708 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 488 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Having served on expeditions under John Franklin, the British naval officer Sir George Back (1796 1878) had already gained first-hand experience of Arctic peril and survival by the time he was appointed in 1836 to command HMS Terror. His mission was to survey uncharted coastline in the Canadian Arctic, yet Back's ship became trapped in ice near Frozen Strait and was unable to escape for ten months. In this account, first published in 1838, Back lucidly documents the developing crisis, noting the numerous preparations to abandon ship, the deaths of three of his men from scurvy, and the further...

Arctic Artist
ISBN: 9780773511811 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Back's journal is particularly valuable because it is the only one that records the entire expedition; Franklin himself relied on it for his own published account of the journey. Both the journal and Back's earlier notes have been edited by Houston, who provides an introduction and extensive annotations, as well as synopses of the frank comments regarding the expedition recorded in the various journals of the Hudson's Bay fur trade posts. I.S. MacLaren's commentary on Back's paintings reveals a midshipman-artist of exceptional talent. Conversant with the artistic conventions and aesthetic...
