Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Arctic Dispatches: Containing an Account of the Discovery of the North-West Passage At length the great geographical question of the North-West Passage is solved. At length the oft repeated attempt of above three centuries is crowned with success. Thanks to the daring of her intrepid seamen, England has achieved her favourite project, and that a passage by sea, north of America, between Davis and Behring Straits, is actually to be made, no longer admits of doubt. It has been performed by Captain M'Clure in command of the Investigator, one of whose officers. Lieutenant Cresswell, is now in England. How many of England's brave and hardy seamen have been successively repulsed in this attempt; how many have yet penetrated beyond their predecessors and wrested from the barriers of eternal frost another, and yet another, small portion of geographic lore, have braved the perils of a snow-clad ocean and this in spite of all the terrors of the Arctic winter "That holds with icy grasp the Polar world" in bonds of perpetual frost? Let the long list of names in history's page, from the times of Willoughby and Frobisher down to those of Parry and Franklin, bear faithful yet painful record. At length, we repeat, the feat is accomplished, and though all have returned and might have justly said with Baffin "I have seen what mine eyes fain would not have seen," when he reported the continuity of land at the head of Baffin Bay, yet it has been left for M'Clure to profit by the energy of Parry, and to give the final answer to the long agitated question, "There is a north-west passage." Such is the general view of the subject at the present moment. While it is placed vividly before us in the despatches which follow, let us glance over a few of its most remarkable points, both past and present. The theory of a communication by the Arctic Sea between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans was a favourite one of old. By England's earliest navigators it was adopted with a degree of zeal and restless determination purely their own. Baffled repeatedly and foiled in their attempts to achieve by it a passage to Cathay, from the days of Elizabeth during each successive reign down to the present, they still returned to the work. But, perhaps, at no period since its commencement has it been so determinedly followed up as it has been in the course of the present peace.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of the Discovery and Exploration of the Northwest Passage written by Alan Day and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2006-01-03 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Northwest Passage was repeatedly sought for over four centuries. From the first attempt in the late 15th century to Roald Amundsen's famous voyage of 1903-1906 where the feat was first accomplished to expeditions in the late 1940s by the Mounties to discover an even more northern route, author Alan Day covers all aspects of the ongoing quest that excited the imagination of the world. This compendium of explorers, navigators, and expeditions tackles this broad topic with a convenient, but extensive cross-referenced dictionary. A chronology traces the long succession of treks to find the passage, the introduction helps explain what motivated them, and the bibliography provides a means for those wishing to discover more information on this exciting subject.
Download or read book Arctic Labyrinth written by Glyn Williams and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2010-03 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The elusive dream of locating the Northwest Passage--an ocean route over the top of North America that promised a shortcut to the fabulous wealth of Asia--obsessed explorers for centuries. Until recently these channels were hopelessly choked by impassible ice. Voyagers faced unimaginable horrors--entire ships crushed, mass starvation, disabling frostbite, even cannibalism--in pursuit of a futile goal. Glyn Williams charts the entire sweep of this extraordinary history, from the tiny, woefully equipped vessels of the first Tudor expeditions to the twentieth-century ventures that finally opened the Passage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Sir John Franklin's doomed 1845 search for the Northwest Passage to early twentieth-century sprints to the South Pole, polar expeditions produced an extravagant archive of documents that are as varied as they are engaging. As the polar ice sheets melt, fragments of this archive are newly emergent. In The News at the Ends of the Earth Hester Blum examines the rich, offbeat collection of printed ephemera created by polar explorers. Ranging from ship newspapers and messages left in bottles to menus and playbills, polar writing reveals the seamen wrestling with questions of time, space, community, and the environment. Whether chronicling weather patterns or satirically reporting on penguin mischief, this writing provided expedition members with a set of practices to help them survive the perpetual darkness and harshness of polar winters. The extreme climates these explorers experienced is continuous with climate change today. Polar exploration writing, Blum contends, offers strategies for confronting and reckoning with the extreme environment of the present.
