Edward Moss was a surgeon and an artist appointed in HMS Alert on the British Arctic Expedition in 1875-1876, lead by George Nares. The aim was to reach the North Pole by way of Smith Sound and to explore the coasts of Greenland and adjacent lands. Although the attempt to reach the North Pole was unsuccessful, the expedition made some geographical discoveries and returned with a large quantity of scientific data that Moss wrote about in his account.
