A Chronological History of Voyages into the Arctic Regions: Undertaken Chiefly for the Purpose of Discovering a North-East, North-West, or Polar Passage between the Atlantic and Pacific - Cambridge Library Collection - Polar Exploration

In 1818 the diplomat Sir John Barrow (1764–1848) published this history of Arctic exploration from the Viking period to the early nineteenth century. Quoting from eye-witness accounts, Barrow describes the landscape, fauna and climate, the explorers' battle against extreme cold, disease and starvation, and their encounters with the Inuit.
