During the seventeen-month expedition, Bellot wrote a journal which captures his enthusiasm for the discovery of unknown lands and the anxieties of a perilous journey. Together with Captain William Kennedy, Bellot found the northernmost point of the American continent and was named a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. His journal was published posthumously, together with a short account of his life, in 1854 by Julien Lemer, and reissued several times because of its scientific and literary interest. Bellot died tragically, aged twenty-seven, during his second polar expedition. His courage and devotion to a foreign cause earned him much admiration in Britain: an obelisk was raised in his honour outside the Greenwich Hospital for sailors.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAvertissement\u003cbr\u003e Joseph-René Bellot\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Journal d'un voyage aux mers polaires\u003cbr\u003e Notes et documents.\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":46266093469976,"sku":"9781108050166","price":30.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108050166i_c1813f9d-98ae-4aa9-abda-859c4a2e7a33.jpg?v=1696747005","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/journal-dun-voyage-aux-mers-polaires-execute-a-la-recherche-de-sir-john-franklin-en-1851-et-1852-paperback-9781108050166","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
