Joseph Ren Bellot (1826 53) was a French naval officer whose
travels took him from Africa to the Arctic before his tragic death
at the age of 27. In 1851 he joined a British expedition to search
for the missing polar explorer Sir John Franklin (1786 1847), whose
expedition to find the North-West Passage was last heard of in July
1845. Although the voyage was unsuccessful in its search, it
explored previously unknown areas of the Arctic. Bellot kept
extensive notes about his journey in this remote region; they
originally appeared in French in 1854 and were translated into
English in 1855 and published in two volumes. In Volume 2, Bellot,
who was regarded as a hero in both France and Britain, describes
how the crew survived the harsh climate of the Arctic winter, his
exploration by dog-sledge of inland polar regions, and his eventual
return to Britain.
