The Greenland Division of Sledges, British Arctic Expedition
Engraving showing the Greenland division of dog sledges commanded by Lieutenant Beaumont and Dr. Coppinger during the British Arctic Expedition of 1875-1876. 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. Although the attempt was unsuccessful, a new furthest North record was set, the coasts of Greenland and Ellesmere Island were charted and much scientific data gathered

EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical engraving captures the essence of exploration and discovery during the British Arctic Expedition of 1875-1876. The image shows the Greenland division of dog sledges commanded by Lieutenant Beaumont and Dr. Coppinger, as they embarked on a daring journey to reach the North Pole via Smith Sound.
Led by Captain George Nares, two ships, HMS Alert and HMS Discovery, set sail in the summer of 1875 with high hopes of making history. Although their attempt to reach the North Pole was ultimately unsuccessful, they did manage to establish a new furthest North record at that time.
The expedition not only made significant progress in charting the coasts of Greenland and Ellesmere Island but also gathered valuable scientific data along the way. This engraving serves as a testament to their courage, determination, and spirit of adventure in exploring uncharted territories.
As we gaze upon this scene from over a century ago, we are reminded of the importance of pushing boundaries, challenging limits, and embracing unknown possibilities. It is through endeavors like these that our understanding of the world expands and our sense of wonder deepens.
