The voyage of HMS Erebus and Terror to the southern and Antarctic regions 1839-1843: the journal of Sergeant William Keating Cunningham, HMS Terror

摘要

Rosove (2001: 323) described James Clark Ross's Antarctic voyage as 'one of mankind's greatest expeditions of geographical and scientific exploration' and Captain Scott (19051: 22) wrote that it was 'among the most famous and brilliant ever made.' Ross himself published an account of the voyage (1847), which was followed by that of the surgeon on board Erebus, Robert McCormick (1884).
