Description
1819 1ed Arctic MAPS Fisher Journal of William Parry Voyage Eskimos North Pole



Alexander Fishers Journal of a Voyage of Discovery of the Arctic Regions is an early 19th-century account of William Parrys voyage to the North Pole. Fisher was a surgeon on the expedition and gives a first-hand perspective on the happenings on the voyage. Parrys famous voyage is best-known for encountering Eskimos, studying meteorological phenomena, and discovering new birds and plants.



According to Hill on this work,

“The author describes the voyage up the east side of Davis Strait and Baffin Bay to the entrance of Smith Sound. Included are detailed descriptions of the Eskimos and sea mammals”



This first edition is notable for including information about Parrys voyage that was not included in Parrys own narrative – specifically on ice conditions and natural history.
