James Weddell (1787–1834) led several voyages towards the Antarctic. This 1825 publication includes an important early account of the South Shetlands and details of South Atlantic coastal waters. Weddell records encounters with indigenous peoples, fellow mariners, wildlife and icebergs, and pays tribute to the endurance of his crew.
