This short account of what he witnessed, particularly the crossing of Hudson Bay, appeared in 1819. Greatly interested in icebergs, M'Keevor discusses these 'sea mountains' in detail. He also describes the Inuit peoples encountered, giving a short glossary of Inuit words. Presenting a vivid account of the scene, he was clearly moved by seeing a polar bear protecting her cubs from a hunting party sent out from the ship. Also published in this volume is a brief account in English of the 1806 voyage of the Sirène by the French naval officer Fréminville. Initially tasked with attacking British whalers off Spitsbergen, the frigate came close to the coast of Greenland, yet most of the time on land was spent in Iceland, where observations were made of the Icelandic people, fauna and geology.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Voyage to Hudson's Bay\u003cbr\u003e Voyage to the North Pole.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Historical geography [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Historical geography\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Historical%20geography%20%5BHBTP%5D%22\"\u003eHBTP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266177978648,"sku":"9781108071505","price":18.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108071505i_da749c9d-353b-4573-870d-b53a47257f76.jpg?v=1696748875","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/a-voyage-to-hudsons-bay-during-the-summer-of-1812-containing-a-particular-account-of-the-icebergs-and-other-phenomena-which-present-themselves-in-those-regions-also-a-description-of-the-esquimeaux-and-north-american-indians-paperback-9781108071505","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
