EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical engraving captures a fascinating moment during the British Arctic Expedition of 1875-1876, showcasing the skating rink that was created beside the winter quarters of HMS Discovery. Led by Captain George Nares, this expedition aimed to reach the North Pole via Smith Sound using two ships, HMS Alert and HMS Discovery.
Although the attempt to reach the North Pole was ultimately unsuccessful, this expedition set a new furthest North record and charted the coasts of Greenland and Ellesmere Island. The scientific data gathered during this journey proved to be invaluable for future explorations in the Arctic region.
The image depicts a scene of camaraderie and leisure amidst harsh Arctic conditions, with crew members enjoying some recreational time on the ice. It serves as a reminder of both the challenges faced by early explorers in their quest for discovery and the importance of teamwork and resilience in overcoming adversity.
