Professor Sonntag's Thrilling Narrative of the Grinnell Exploring Expedition to the Arctic Ocean 1853-1855, in Search of Sir John Franklin is a first-hand account of the exploration of the Arctic region by the Grinnell expedition. The book is written by August Sonntag, a member of the expedition and a professor of mathematics and astronomy. The Grinnell expedition was launched in 1853 with the aim of finding Sir John Franklin, a British explorer who had disappeared while searching for the Northwest Passage. The expedition was led by Elisha Kent Kane, a physician and explorer, and consisted of two ships, the Advance and the Rescue. Sonntag's narrative provides a detailed account of the expedition's journey through the Arctic region, including their encounters with the indigenous Inuit people, the harsh weather conditions, and the challenges of navigating through ice-filled waters. He also describes the scientific observations made by the expedition, including measurements of the magnetic field and the study of the aurora borealis.The book is a fascinating account of a historic expedition and provides a unique insight into the challenges faced by explorers in the Arctic region during the mid-19th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of exploration and the Arctic region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
