Omtale

The naturalist Henry Moseley (1844–91) vividly recounts the first global oceanographic expedition in this 1879 publication. Travelling nearly 70,000 nautical miles, collecting over 4,000 marine species and visiting many remote islands, the Challenger expedition of 1872–6 also discovered the world's deepest ocean trench. Numerous woodcuts enhance the work.
