Caption

'View of the Arctic Sea from the Mouth of the Copper Mine River, Midnight, July 1821', (1946). Tents with British flags on the coast of northern Canada, depicted by a member of John Franklin's Coppermine Expedition of 1819-1822. The long hours of daylight during the Arctic summer made it possible to draw in the middle of the night. Illustration from "Narrative of a Journey to the Shores of the Polar Sea" by John Franklin. Published in "British Polar Explorers", by Admiral Sir Edward Evans. [Collins, London, 1946]
