The Neptune wintered over in Hudson Bay, cruised northward along the east side of Baffin Bay to Cape Sabine, then southward along the west side of Baffin Bay with a detour into Lancaster Sound. Much research was conducted on geology and animal, plant, and Eskimo life. Includes a very nice, large color folding map in a separate pocket.
