	George Nares - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Admiral Sir George Strong Nares, KCB, RN (April 24, 1831 - January 15, 1915) was a British naval officer and Arctic explorer.
		On this expedition, Nares became the first explorer to take his ships all the way north through the channel between Greenland and Ellesmere Island -- now named Nares Strait in his honor -- to the Lincoln Sea.
		In addition to Nares Strait, Nares Mountain and Nares Lake, in Yukon, Canada, are named for him.

	Sherard Osborn - LoveToKnow Watches
		Entering the navy as a first-class volunteer in 1837, he was entrusted in 1838 with the command of a gunboat at the attack on Kedah in the Malay Peninsula, and was present at the reduction of Canton in 1841, and at the capture of the batteries of Woosung in 1842.
		From 18 44 till 1848 he was gunnery mate and lieutenant in the flag-ship of Sir George Seymour in the Pacific.
		His interest in Arctic exploration had never ceased, and in 1873 he induced Commander Albert Markham to undertake a summer voyage for the purpose of testing the conditions of ice-navigation with the aid of steam, with the result that a new Arctic expedition, under Sir George Nares, was determined upon.

	HMS Challenger (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Captain George Nares received an official reprimand from the Admiralty, but was, apparently, the object of great admiration for his clever actions, and was questioned at length about how the feat was accomplished.
		Captain Nares commanded for most of Challenger's historic journey, but because of his previous Arctic, Antarctic, and surveying experience and good service, he was recalled in 1874 to take command of the Alert and the Discovery in the 1875-76 British Arctic Expedition.
		I don't think Captain Nares is quite strong enough for such a voyage, he suffered from "Rheumatics" on the Antarctic trip, and he is rather a timid man I think--not enterprise enough for such a command.

	Nares Strait - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nares Strait (boxed), lying between Ellesmere Island (Nunavut, Canada) and Greenland.
		Nares Strait (Danish: Nares Strædet; 80°0′N 70°0′W) is a waterway lying between Ellesmere Island (the most northerly part of Nunavut, Canada) and Greenland.
		In 1964, its name, from the British naval officer George Strong Nares, was agreed by the Danish (Stednavneudvalget, now Stednavnenævnet) and Canadian governments.

	The junior officers
		George Strong Nares (1831-1915) the Challenger's Captain until he took command of the Arctic Expedition and was replaced by Frank Tourle Thomson.
		Nares wrote a standard text on seamanship under sail, which was published in 1860 and went through many editions.
		However, since Nares was technically engaged in surveying duties, presumably he would have received the special supplementary allowance for such work of £1 0s 0d per day, thus giving him a total annual pay of £775 12s 6d, equivalent to about £23300 at the end of 1986.

		Soon George Strong Nares, a veteran of the Franklin searches, embarked on what would be the British navy's first and last serious attempt to reach the North Pole.
		Nares also had added a new adjective to the English dictionary: "paleocrystic," to describe the huge slabs of ancient ice his expedition had encountered north of Ellesmere Island.
		A naval court of inquiry censured Nares for failing to provide his sledge crew with fresh lime juice, which Nares had denigrated as a preventive.

		Unlike this earlier expedition though, it was the measurement of the physical characteristics of the ocean water and floor and the recording of benthic and deep water fauna and flora that most occupied the scientists aboard Challenger.
		Under the captaincy of George Nares the crew of 240 seamen was supplemented by a team of zoologists, botanists and meteorologists directed by Charles Wyville Thompson.
		John Murray, Prof Henry Moseley, John Buchanan and Fleet Surgeon George Maclean RN seem to have been most concerned with rock collecting although their rocks were also examined microscopically and named more exactly after the voyage by Prof A. Renard of Ghent University.

		The role of the Royal Engineers in the development of the use of photography as a tool for explorers and surveyors is again seen in the photographs taken during the 1875 expedition of the ships Alert and Discovery.
		Commanded by Sir George Strong Nares, the vessels were sent to investigate reports, subsequently proved erroneous, of the existence of an open sea route to the North Pole.
		A number of these photographs were also used to illustrate Nares' own account of the journey, Narrative of a voyage to the Polar Sea (2 vols., London, 1878).
