A Sledging Party Camping for the Night, British Arctic Exped
Engraving showing a sledging party setting up camp for the night, 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 engraving captures a moment in history during the British Arctic Expedition of 1875-1876, as a sledging party sets up camp for the night. Led by Captain George Nares, the expedition aimed to reach the North Pole via Smith Sound using two ships, HMS Alert and HMS Discovery. Although they did not achieve their ultimate goal, they did establish a new furthest North record and charted the coasts of Greenland and Ellesmere Island.
The scene depicted in this print is one of resilience and determination in the face of extreme conditions. The men work together to set up their camp, surrounded by icy landscapes and harsh winds. It serves as a reminder of the bravery and sacrifice made by early explorers in their quest for discovery.
As we gaze upon this historical image, we are transported back to a time when exploration was at its peak and scientific knowledge was expanding rapidly. The meticulous detail captured in this engraving allows us to appreciate the challenges faced by these adventurers as they pushed the boundaries of human capability in pursuit of knowledge.
This print is not just a visual representation but also an important piece of historical documentation that sheds light on an era marked by daring expeditions and groundbreaking discoveries.
