by Kane, Elisha (1820-57) (after); Private Collection; (add.info.: The Second Grinnell Expedition of 1853 was an American effort, financed by Henry Grinnell, to determine the fate of the Franklins lost expedition. Led by Dr. Elisha Kane, the team explored areas northwest of Greenland, now called Grinnell Land. While failing to determine the fate of Sir John Franklin, the expedition set a new record for northward penetration, delineated 960 mi (1, 540 km) of unexplored coastline north of 82A latitude, and discovered the long-sought open Polar Sea. Kane collected valuable geographical, climate and magnetic observations before abandoning the brig Advance to the pack ice in 1855. While three members of the crew were lost, the epic journey of the survivors inspired the public as a vivid tale of Arctic survival.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Icebergs near Kosoak, Life Boat Cove" takes us back to the historic Second Grinnell Expedition of 1853. Led by Dr. Elisha Kane, this American endeavor aimed to uncover the fate of Sir John Franklin's lost expedition. The engraving, created by Elisha Kane himself and now part of a private collection, showcases the breathtaking beauty and treacherous nature of the Arctic landscape. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a time when brave explorers ventured into uncharted territories northwest of Greenland. The icebergs stand tall and majestic against an azure sky, their icy blue hues contrasting with the dark waters below. It is a scene that evokes both awe and danger. The Second Grinnell Expedition may not have solved the mystery surrounding Sir John Franklin's disappearance, but it achieved remarkable feats nonetheless. Driven by Henry Grinnell's financial support, Kane's team pushed further north than ever before – reaching an unprecedented latitude above 82 degrees. Along their journey, they meticulously documented unexplored coastlines spanning over 960 miles (1,540 kilometers) and discovered the long-sought open Polar Sea. Despite facing unimaginable challenges in harsh conditions, including losing three crew members along the way, these survivors became symbols of resilience and determination in their epic struggle for Arctic survival. Through this historical photograph print from Fine Art Finder's Stapleton Collection courtesy of Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of humanity's insatiable curiosity and our relentless pursuit to unravel nature's mysteries even in its most unforgiving realms.
