À propos de ce livre

Complete and unabridged, with 56 full-page plates by Jan van Goyen, Ivan Aivazovsky and Isaac van Ostade. The 1860-61 voyage to test the theory that an open sea lay beyond the arctic ice - the winter in the schooner, the sledge journey, and the water Hayes believed he saw from the far shore of Smith Sound. He was wrong, and the account of getting there is first-rate. This edition adds a gallery of 56 plates, among them paintings by Caspar David Friedrich, Ivan Aivazovsky and Frederic Edwin Church, alongside six illustrations restored and coloured for this volume.
