Engraving of an imaginary scene showing a British Arctic expedition in the Arctic, c.1849. The engraving shows two ships in the background, with icebergs, walruses, a whale and the Aurora Borealis also visible. This image was created in order to give the readers of the 'Illustrated London News' an idea of the conditions that the Franklin and Ross expeditions of the 1840's might encounter in the Arctic.
