	Godhavn Harbour, Disco Island, July 10 1875 Record: Y: 54/13/1/1 by Moss, Edward Lawton One of a set of 16 chromolithographs, based on the work of Staff Surgeon Edward Lawton Moss, R.N. of H.M.S. Alert during the British Arctic Expedition of 1875-76. 'The Danish settlements on the coast of Greenland are divided into two Inspectorates, a northern and a southern. Godhavn is the head-quarters of the northern, The view is from the rocks above the little village of Leively, looking down on the harbour that gives the district its name. The Lyngemarken cliffs beyond are a fine sample of the southern shores of Disco. A few houses of Danish officials, some storehouses, a shurch, a school-house, and the huts of the Eskimo make the village. A pair of Eskimo women, unmarried, as may be seen by their red top-knots, are busy with their laundry work at a pool amongst the glaciated rocks of the foreground'. - Extract from 'Shores of the Polar Sea'.
	A floeberg, Simmons Land, April 1876 Record: Y: 54/13/10 by Moss, Edward Lawton One of set of 49 watercolours, 1 pencil sketch, 7 pen drawings, all the work of Staff Surgeon Edward Lawton Moss: "Polar Sketches... sixteen chromolithographs", R.N. of H.M.S.

	A floeberg, Simmon's Island, April 1876 Record: Y: 54/13/10/1 by Moss, Edward Lawton One of a set of 16 chromolithographs, based on the work of Staff Surgeon Edward Lawton Moss, R.N. of H.M.S. Alert during the British Arctic Expedition of 1875-76. 'The great stratified masses of salt ice that lie grounded along the shores of the Polar Sea are nothing more than fragments broken from the edges of the perennial floes. We called them floebergs in order to distinguish them from, and yet express their kinship to, icebergs - the latter and their parent glaciers belong to more southern regions. Partly because it was a conspicuous point to push on for before halting for lunch, the floeberg on Simmon's Island became a familiar landmark in the many trips of the supporting sledges across Black Cliff Bay; and the chill hour while tea was preparing was often spent in speculating on the enormous force required to push the huge square mass so high on shore' - Extract from 'Shores of the Polar Sea'.
	The Last Mile, 14 June 1876 Record: Y: 54/13/11 by Moss, Edward Lawton One of set of 49 watercolours, 1 pencil sketch, 7 pen drawings, all the work of Staff Surgeon Edward Lawton Moss, R.N. of H.M.S. Alert during the British Arctic Expedition of 1875-76.

Alert during the British Arctic Expedition of 1875-76. 'On June 14th, the northern detachment, with the relief sledges sent to its assistance, returned to the ship from its ten weeks' march over the polar floes. The detachment had started northward seventeen strong, but only four remained able to pull in the drag-belts, and of these one was the officer in command. Frost-peeled and sun-burnt, with stiffened knees, and faces and clothes stained with stearine smoke, these four led the way alongside the ship, flying the Union Jack they had carried a month's hard march beyond every predecessor' - Extract from 'Shores of the Polar Sea'.

Alert during the British Arctic Expedition of 1875-76.

	On the northern march, April 8, 1876 Record: Y: 54/13/13/1 by Moss, Edward Lawton One of a set of 16 chromolithographs, based on the work of Staff Surgeon Edward Lawton Moss, R.N. of H.M.S. Alert during the British Arctic Expedition of 1875-76. 'On the sixth day's march of the united northern and western parties from the ship, this sketch was outlined in pencil while the sledges passed across a floe, little if at all under one hundred and fifty feet in thickness. Like most heavy floes, its edges were piled with rubble ice, cemented and smoothed off with snow-drift, showing a perpendicular wall outside, but sloping inside to the general undulating surface. The easiest road lay right across it, and with the aid of picks a natural gap in its walls was soon converted into a practicable path. The united crews of the Bulldog and Marco Polo are hauling the latter sledge down through the gap, while the Challenger's and Poppie's have just reached the spot with the first of their sledges' - Extract from 'Shores of the Polar Sea'.
	Last of the Paleocrystic Floe, 1876 Record: Y: 54/13/14 by Moss, Edward Lawton One of set of 49 watercolours, 1 pencil sketch, 7 pen drawings, all the work of Staff Surgeon Edward Lawton Moss, R.N. of H.M.S. Alert during the British Arctic Expedition of 1875-76.

Alert during the British Arctic Expedition of 1875-76. 'As the ships returned southward, they steamed through a large polynia, or waterspace in Kennedy Channel. It was on a still night, late in August, and the ice-locked sea was calm enough to be the veritable 'Peace Pool'. A few last fragments of polar floe lay here and there in the water, strangely reflected, and a dovekie swam beside one of them. Far away to the east, between Franklin and Crozier Islands, Cape Constitution rose above a faint line of pack. It was Kane's farthest point. From its base, Morton, looking on another such polynia, had naturally enough reported an open Polar Sea. The sea was open now as far southward as could be seen from the crow's nest, and yet both ships were in difficulties before morning, and a hundred miles of Smith's Sound pack still separated them from the North Water and from home' - Extract from 'Shores of the Polar Sea'.

Alert during the British Arctic Expedition of 1875-76. 'Foulke Fiord is a narrow ice-scooped inlet in the coast of Greenland, at the entrance of Smith's Sound. Hayes made it his winter quarters; and Rensselaer Bay, where Kane spent his three winters, is close to the northward. On the shorre of the fiord, and under the red granite cliff in the foreground of the picture, a few ruined huts mark the site of the once populous Eskimo village of Etah - the capital of the Arctic Highlanders. At the head of the fiord an expanse of lake and valley leads to Brother John's Glacier of Kane, stretching down in the shape of a huge paw from the inland ice beyond. This continental ice lies thousands of feet thick over what little is known of the interior of Greenland, and looks like a vast frozen sea, but that its level is sensibly above the horizon' - Extract from 'Shores of the Polar Sea'.

Looking southward across the bay, and beyond Bellot Island, Lady Franklin Sound extends away to the south-west; and at the other side of the sound Grinnell Land rises in a line of straight cliffs, and spreads away towards Cape Leiber on the left, and to the distant peaks of the Victoria and Albert range on the right' - Extract from 'Shores of the Polar Sea'.

Alert during the British Arctic Expedition of 1875-76. 'Where Robeson Channel opens out into the Polar Sea, the cliffs of Grant Land give place to a more shelving shore. This sketch, made late in July, 1876, and looking due north across the winter quarters of HMS Alert at Floeberg Beach, shows the poleward prospect from the last of the cliffs. The coast-line curves away to the west into Black Cliff Bay, then turns north, and ends in the peaked mountains of Cape Joseph Henry, the point from which the northern sledge-parties started. Patches of melting snow, under Cairn Hill on the left, and under the slaty crest in the foreground (where some pink saxifrage is still in flower), send rivulets across the mud-flats to the South Ravine, and help to flood the green one-season ice between the grounded edge of the perennial pack and the shore. The floes are mapped out by hedges of hummocks, and look deceptively smooth from this height' - Extract from 'Shores of the Polar Sea'.

Alert during the British Arctic Expedition of 1875-76. 'This is a sketch, from the floes alongside the ship, of an unusually distinct Paraselena that appeared on the 11th December, 1875. The haloes and cross round the moon are caused by the passage of her light through a tissue of impalpably minute needle-like crystals of ice slowly falling through the atmosphere. The snow-covered hills of Floeberg Beach are in the background, and in the foreground two officers are measuring the arc with a sextant, while the long-lost Sally looks on. In summer the sun was often surrounded by a similar meteor, but intensely dazzling, and tinted with colours like an outside rainbow' - Extract from 'Shores of the Polar Sea'.

	The dawn of 1876 HMS Alert in Winter Quarters Record: Y: 54/13/9/1 by Moss, Edward Lawton One of a set of 16 chromolithographs, based on the work of Staff Surgeon Edward Lawton Moss, R.N. of H.M.S. Alert during the British Arctic Expedition of 1875-76. 'Dawn in the latitude of Floeberg Beach is a season rather than an houre, and the growing brightness skirts round the whole horizon almost impartially. This is a sketch very early in March, looking north at midnight. At the time it was made, the spirit thermometers on the small stand, and on the tripod seen to the left of the ship, registered -70 Fahrenheit. The outlines were made without much difficulty, with a pencil pushed through two pairs of worsted mitts. The colours were laid on in the warmth and candle-light between decks, and verified by repeated trips into the cold. In regions where wind could crush the ice together, or where open water existed to leeward, Arctic ships have more than once been blown to sea with the ice of their winter quarters; and, as a precautionary measure, our ship was secured to shore by chain cables, raised at intervals on casks to prevent them sinking into the ice' - Extract from 'Shores of the Polar Sea'.
