Description
1858 Arctic Exploration 1ed Elisha Kane Biography Franklin Expedition Wm Elder



Elisha Kent Kane was one of the most famous 19th-century voyagers, best known for his Arctic Exploration. Kent and his explorers were able to gather a lot of information about people, geography, and natural history of the Arctic region, a relatively unknown region of the world. The discoveries found on this voyage include the Humboldt Glacier, Kennedy Channel, the Kane Basin, and reaching the farthest north of any exploration at the time.



Author William Elder published a biography on the life of Kane, a work which focuses heavily on Kane and his Grinnell Expedition – a voyage set out to find the lost John Franklin.
