The Royal Geographical Society and the Arctic Expedition of 1875–76 : A Report

Omtale

The traveller and geographer Sir Clements R. Markham (1830–1916) was instrumental in gathering support from the Royal Geographical Society for this 1875–6 Arctic expedition. His 1877 report on the process of setting up an expedition demonstrates the approaches adopted in the nineteenth century, and is still of interest today.
