| Meer info | "Containing an examination of the Antarctic Sea, to the seventy-fourth degree of latitude: and a visit to Tierra del Fuego, with a particular account of the inhabitants. To which is added, much useful information on the coasting navigation of Cape Horn, and the adjacent lands." iv, 276 pages with a hand coloured engraved frontispiece and errata slip, 4 engraved plates, 2 folding engraved panoramas and 9 engraved maps/charts (7 folding). Scattered some foxing/browning, map with a closed tear. A nice copy. Weddell, an Enderby captain and a Royal Navy veteran, established his “farthest-south” record during this voyage in 1822 in the sea named after him. His achievement gave rise to optimistic estimates concerning the ice in the Weddell Sea, in which no later ship was able to sail freely as far south as Weddell. Weddell’s narrative is arguably considered to be a cornerstone to Antarctic exploration collections. |
