'Plan of Felix Harbour from the survey by Commander Jas. Clark Ross, R.N., F.R.S., &c. 1830'
An important expedition chart of Felix Harbour, surveyed by Commander James Clark Ross in 1830 and published in Sir John Ross’s official account of the voyage. Unlike the picturesque views of the harbour, this plan records the practical geographical work undertaken once the Victory had been trapped and the expedition was forced to adapt to a prolonged Arctic residence. Its significance is strengthened by James Clark Ross’s central role in the expedition’s scientific achievements: during the summer of 1830 he undertook survey journeys from Felix Harbour, and in 1831 reached the vicinity of the North Magnetic Pole. A modest but important Ross polar map.
