EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Tennyson's Monument, an illustration from The Second Grinnell Expedition in Search of Sir John Franklin. Created in 1856 by Elisha Kane and now part of a private collection, this engraving captures the essence of the American effort to uncover the fate of Franklin's lost expedition. Financed by Henry Grinnell, the Second Grinnell Expedition was led by Dr. Elisha Kane and ventured into unexplored territories northwest of Greenland, known today as Grinnell Land. Although their primary objective remained unfulfilled – determining what happened to Sir John Franklin – this expedition achieved remarkable milestones. Setting a new record for northward penetration, the team meticulously mapped 960 miles (1,540 kilometers) of previously uncharted coastline beyond 82 degrees latitude. Additionally, they made a groundbreaking discovery: the long-sought open Polar Sea. Throughout their journey, Kane diligently collected invaluable geographical data along with climate and magnetic observations. Despite facing immense challenges and losing three crew members along the way, the survivors' epic tale of Arctic survival captivated public imagination. Their determination and resilience left an indelible mark on history. This print serves as a testament to both human exploration and endurance in harsh environments while shedding light on one chapter in our quest for knowledge about Earth's polar regions.
