Return of Dr Kane Arctic Expedition to Greenland
The United States Arctic Expedition led by Dr Kane and crew of the Advance and Arcie returned from a 21,000 mile voyage circumnavigating northern waters. They faced severe pack ice, scurvy, and two winters, surveying Smith Sound and discovering a new polar channel. They overwintered with Esquimaux assistance, endured famine and amputations, and Kane earned praise for leadership and humanity.
