"In 1845, Sir John Franklin and his crew set out from London on the ships Terror and Erebus for the Northwest Passage that was thought to link the Atlantic and Pacific oceans via the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. When the Franklin expedition failed to return, numerous search expeditions (thirty-six in all) were sent in its wake, producing hundreds of sketches, paintings, and texts that ultimately fed into a fascination with the Arctic. Very little research has been done on the visual records of Arctic exploration during this period. This is despite a burgeoning of interest in the polar regions in general, specifically in the literary Arctic and Antarctic, and the discovery of the two Franklin ships (in 2014 and 2016). The visual informed, and continues to inform, our ideas of the polar regions in crucial ways. This book follows the depiction of the Arctic from the ship to the shore, beginning in the Northwest Passage and ending in the metropole, continually returning to the Arctic through the eyes of the little-known expedition members who took part in the search for Franklin"--

Privileging the visual as the main method of communication and meaning-making, this book responds critically to the worldwide discussion about the Arctic and the North, addressing the interrelated issues of climate change, ethics and geopolitics. A multi-disciplinary, multi-modal exploration of the Arctic, it supplies an original conceptualization of the Arctic as a visual world encompassing an array of representations, imaginings, and constructions. By examining a broad range of visual forms, media and forms such as art, film, graphic novels, maps, media, and photography, the book advances current debates about visual culture. The book enriches contemporary theories of the visual taking the Arctic as a spatial entity and also as a mode of exploring contemporary and historical visual practices, including imaginary constructions of the North. Original contributions include case studies from all the countries along the Arctic shore, with Russian material occupying a large section due to the country’s impact on the region

How did the Victorian fixation on the disastrous John Franklin expedition transform our understanding of the Northwest Passage and the Arctic? Today we still tend to see the Arctic and the Northwest Passage through nineteenth-century perspectives, which focused on the discoveries of individual explorers, their illustrated books, visual culture, imperial ambitions, and high-profile disasters. However, the farther back one looks, the more striking the differences appear in how Arctic exploration was envisioned. Writing Arctic Disaster uncovers a wide range of exploration cultures: from the manuscripts of secretive corporations like the Hudson's Bay Company, to the nationalist Admiralty and its innovative illustrated books, to the searches for and exhibits of disaster relics in the Victorian era. This innovative study reveals the dangerous afterlife of this Victorian conflation of exploration and disaster, in the geopolitical significance accruing around the 2014 discovery of Franklin's ship Erebus in the Northwest Passage.
