Northern Lights. The Arctic Scots, Hardback/Edward J. Cowan

The search for a Northwest Passage, connecting the Atlantic and the Pacific was one of the great maritime challenges, and it was not until the 1850s that the first one-way partial transit of the passage was made. This book charts the remarkable contribution to Arctic exploration made by the Scots - whose role has often been overlooked. Publisher: Birlinn General Author(s): Edward J.
