Arctic exploration. 19th century artwork of two ships exploring the Arctic. The most famous 19th century expedition to the Arctic was led in 1845 by the British naval captain Sir John Franklin on HMS Erebus and HMS Terror. This expedition attempted to find the Northwest Passage, a sea- route between Canada and the Arctic that links the Atlantic to the Pacific, but the ships were trapped in sea ice and all members of the expedition perished. The first successful crossing of the Northwest Passage by ship was in 1906, by the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen. Engraving from The Atmosphere (1873) by Camille Flammarion.
