The Norwegian steamer Michael Sars undertook a series of oceanographic expeditions in the North Atlantic, beginning in 1900; among those who participated in the various voyages were the Polar explorer Fridtjof Nansen, and the British oceanographer John Murray, who funded the researches conducted in the 1911 season. The present work offers an overview of the work carried out aboard the Michael Sars, with chapters devoted to the steamer itself, the voyages, and findings in oceanography, botany, fauna, and the like. The recipient of this copy, E. R. G. R. Evans, was second-in-command on Captain Scott’s second Antarctic expedition, later becoming Evans of the Broke.
