EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print transports us back in time to the historic Saumarez River in the high Arctic, during the groundbreaking expedition led by the renowned Scottish explorer, John Ross. Taken between the years 1829 and 1833, this image showcases the Saumarez River, located at Latitude 70 degrees north and Longitude 92 degrees west - a remarkable location where the river never freezes. John Ross and his team embarked on their expedition with the ambitious goal of discovering the Northwest Passage, a long-sought-after sea route connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Despite the extreme conditions and numerous challenges, Ross and his crew persevered, making significant discoveries along the way. In this photograph, we see a group of explorers, likely members of Ross's team, standing near their sledges on the shores of the Saumarez River. The river's unfrozen waters, even in the heart of the Arctic, are a testament to the unique climate and geography of the region. This photograph is an essential piece of historical documentation, offering a glimpse into the challenging yet fascinating world of polar exploration during the early 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the indomitable human spirit and the relentless pursuit of knowledge and discovery that has shaped our understanding of the world around us.
