Posthumous account of the Arctic expeditions of the American explorer Elisha Kent Kane. He was the senior medical officer of the Grinnell Arctic expedition of 1850–1851 under the command of Edwin de Haven who had the aim to find the Sir John Franklin's lost expedition. They discovered his first winter camp. Between 1853 and 1855, Kane headed the Second Grinnell expedition which had still the same goal. Even if the expedition failed to determine the fate of Sir John Franklin's expedition, Kane penetrated farther north than any other explorer had done up to that time and he collected valuable geographical and climate observations.
