Contains a biography, originally prepared for Stefansson's Encyclopedia Arctica, of this British explorer: his early life, polar explorations and later government positions not related to the Arctic. His five northern expeditions are cited: that with Capt. John Ross in 1818, those he commanded in 1819-20, 1821-23, and 1824-25; his discoveries (several water bodies and islands) in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, and his last expedition, in 1827, an attempt to reach the North Pole over the pack or through open water from Spitsbergen.
