Description
1827 Arctic VOYAGES Parry Expedition Eskimos Indians Shipwrecks Aurora Borealis



William Parry’s personal accounts from his voyages to the Northwest Passage were some of the most popular books of exploration in the 19th-century. Parry was one of the first explorers to reach the North Pole, setting the record for the furthest north any human had reached! Parry recounts his interactions with Eskimos, navigations through fog and ice, viewing meteorological phenomena including the Aurora Borealis.



However, other authors sought to engage in the popularity of Parry’s voyage, including Orville Roorbach who published ‘Northern Regions’. This book not only provided commentary on the major discoveries from the Parry Expedition, but also observations on animals, arctic weather, ice storms, Eskimos, other Indian tribes.
