J. Douglas Hoare's book "Arctic Exploration" provides a historical chronicle of the expeditions and travels of many explorers in the Arctic. The early explorations of explorers like Hudson, Phipps, and Nelson, as well as those of Buchan and Franklin, are covered in the book. Along with the accounts of Franklin's overland trek and Parry's North-West expeditions, it also tells the tales of Ross' unsuccessful efforts and Parry's achievements. The second land excursion of Franklin and Parry's North Polar trip is also covered in the book. The tale also includes Ross's exploits on board the "Victory," Back's two excursions, and Dease and Simpson's findings. The book also includes information on Sverdrup and Peary's following excursions, as well as current expeditions like those led by Abruzzi, Wellmann, and Toll, and the Jackson-Harmsworth mission. The book "Arctic Exploration" gives a thorough overview of the Arctic region's travels as well as the difficulties the explorers encountered while trying to learn and find new things.
British author and historian J. Douglas Hoare was an expert on the history of Arctic exploration. Hoare wrote several books on the topic, including "Arctic Exploration," which gives a thorough review of the history of Arctic exploration from the first missions through those of the early 20th century. He belonged to both the Arctic Club and the Royal Geographical Society as a Fellow. Hoare's writing is well-known for its precision and attention to detail as well as for its ability to tell an interesting story about the people and events engaged in Arctic exploration. Continued interest in this field of exploration and study has been sparked in part by Hoare's legacy as an Arctic expedition historian and author.
