1860 Arctic Boat Journey Isaac Hayes Exploration 2nd Grinnell Expedition KANE

Henry Grinnell's second arctic expedition was a 19th-century Elisha Kent Kane voyage which, in 1853, set out to find John Franklin and his lost expedition. Kane, along with other crew on the USS Advance never found Franklin but were able to gather a lot of information about people, geography, and natural history of the Arctic region, a relatively unknown region of the world. The discoveries found on this voyage include the Humboldt Glacier, Kennedy Channel, the Kane Basin, and reaching the farthest north of any exploration at the time.

Expedition surgeon Isaac Hayes published his own account of the voyage, published under the title "An Arctic Boat Journey".
