		Between 1839 and 1843 he commanded the Antarctic expedition of the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror which charted much of the coastline of the continent.
		By January 19, 1842, EREBUS and TERROR were in "an ocean of rolling fragments of ice, hard as floating rocks of granite, which were dashed against them by the waves with such violence that their masts quivered".
		But just at this moment the TERROR was observed running down upon us, under her top-sails and foresail; and as it was impossible for her to clear both the berg and the EREBUS, collision was inevitable.
