Expedition was first to sail ships through channel between Greenland and Ellesmere Island and as far north as Lincoln Sea.

Provides detail of daily activities and experience including descriptions of ice, weather, wildlife, vegetation, and health and activities of members of expedition. Appendix includes Nares' report on quality and quantity of provisions, noting which supplies were particularly worthwhile and which items were useless.
