Sir George Nares took command of the British Arctic expedition of 1875-6 that hoped to reach the North Pole. Nares' popular two-volume account of the journey was published in 1878. Volume 1 describes the journey north, and covers the discovery of the channel later called Nares Strait, and the remarkable dog-sled expedition of second-in-command, Albert Markham, that set a new record for the farthest distance north achieved. Volume 2 describes the perilous return journey and includes extensive appendices written by H. W. Feilden, giving details of the expedition's scientific discoveries.
