Coleman follows up his earlier volume, ‘The Royal Navy in Polar Exploration from Frobisher to Ross’, by picking up the story with John Franklin’s 1845 expedition in search of a Northwest Passage and concluding with Robert Scott’s expedition to the South Pole, 1910-12. Within this timespan lie the expeditions of Richardson, James Ross, Rae, Pullen, Forsyth, McClure, Collinson, Austin, McClintock, Belcher, Nares, Scott, Shackleton, and others.
