Hydrographical chart of the Arctic regions including the late discoveries of Captain Ross and some original surveys
William Scoresby drew this chart after John Ross returned from his 1818 voyage in search of a North-West passage. Ross reported that his route through Lancaster Sound was blocked by a range of mountains that he saw ahead but Scoresby's chart does not close off the sound entirely.
