1819 1ed Arctic MAPS Fisher Journal of William Parry Voyage Eskimos North Pole
Alexander Fisher's 'Journal of a Voyage of Discovery of the Arctic Regions' is an early 19th-century account of William Parry's voyage to the North Pole. Fisher was a surgeon on the expedition and gives a first-hand perspective on the happenings on the voyage. Parry's famous voyage is best-known for encountering Eskimos, studying meteorological phenomena, and discovering new birds and plants.
According to Hill on this work,
"The author describes the voyage up the east side of Davis Strait and Baffin Bay to the entrance of Smith Sound. Included are detailed descriptions of the Eskimos and sea mammals"
This first edition is notable for including information about Parry's voyage that was not included in Parry's own narrative – specifically on ice conditions and natural history.
