EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Situation of H. M. Ships Hecla & Griper from the 17th to the 23rd of August 1820" takes us back in time to an extraordinary Arctic exploration expedition led by William Edward Parry. The engraving, skillfully done by William Westall, provides a visual representation of Lieutenant Hoppner's sketch during Parry's first expedition. The image showcases the harsh and unforgiving landscape that these brave explorers encountered as they sought to discover a Northwest Passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The ships, Hecla and Griper, are depicted amidst vast expanses of ice floes and towering icebergs that dominate the scene. One can almost feel the bone-chilling coldness emanating from this frozen seascape. It is evident that both vessels have become trapped or "iced in" unable to navigate through this treacherous icy terrain. This photograph serves as a testament to human resilience and determination in the face of extreme adversity. It transports us into a world where nature reigns supreme, reminding us of our small place within it. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded of those intrepid souls who risked their lives for scientific discovery and exploration. Their courage continues to inspire future generations as they push boundaries and seek answers beyond what is known.
