Translation of “Narrative of a second voyage in search of a North-West passage” London, A.W. Webster 1835. Ross left London in May 1829 with a steamship. One of the crew was his nephew, James Clark Ross. They run through Lancaster Sound. In the Prince Regent Inlet the ship got stuck in the ice. Ross and the other crew members would experience four winters in the polar region. They explored the area in a westerly and northerly direction. They were helped by the Inuit who lived there. In 1832 Ross and his team left their ship. They went on foot to another wreck, which they had encountered before. They wanted to use the sloops of that wreck to sail away with, as soon as a channel was created by the ice. It took a year for the ice to rip and they could leave. They were picked up on the way by a whaler. |
