The Great Frozen Sea

The British arctic expedition of 1875-76 - the ships frozen in, the sledge parties, the scurvy that turned back the sledge party after it had gone further north than anyone before. Markham led that sledge party and wrote it up himself. This edition adds a gallery of 58 plates of painting by Caspar David Friedrich, Ivan Aivazovsky and others, alongside 32 illustrations restored and coloured.
