The search for the North West Passage

Trama

The search for the North West Passage to the Far East was the main driving force behind British arctic exploration from the 16th to the mid-19th century. Ann Savours examines the British encounters with the Eskimo, how yearly ice variations affected expeditions, and the daily lives of the early explorers.
