Framed Print of Map of Smith Sound and Greenland, 1875
Engraving showing a map of Smith Sound and Greenland, as it was known in May 1875. Much of the map is erroneous or missing in detail, as the Arctic area had been little visited by Europeans up to that time. In the summer of 1875 the British Admiralty sent Captain George Nares with two ships, HMS Alert and HMS Discovery, to make an attempt to reach the North Pole via Smith Sound. The attempt was unsuccessful, but a new furthest North record was set, the coasts of Greenland and Ellesmere Island were further charted and much scientific data gathered. Mary Evans Picture Library makes available wonderful images created for people to enjoy over the centuries. © Illustrated London News Ltd/Mary Evans
