He made another attempt in 1829 when he became ice-bound for four years, and upon his return to England was created a knight bachelor. He led his own expedition for the search of John Franklin's missing party in 1850. His published works about the Arctic are an important source of information about nineteenth-century Arctic exploration. / En 1818, John Ross (1777-1856), alors commandant dans la Royal Navy, conduisit sa première expédition dans l'Arctique canadien à la recherce du passage du Nord-Ouest. Il fit une autre tentative en 1829 et fut alors pris dans les glaces pendant quatre ans; à son retour en Angleterre, il fut fait chevalier. Il mena sa propre expédition à la recherche de l'équipe manquante de John Franklin en 1850. Ses oeuvres publiées sur l'Arctique sont une mine de renseignements sur l'exploration de cette région au XIXe siècle. |
