“ JACKSON, FREDERICK GEORGE (1860– ) , British Arctic explorer, was educated at Denstone College and Edinburgh University. His first voyage in Arctic waters was on a whaling-cruise in 1886–1887, and in 1893 he made a sledge-journey of 3000 miles across the frozen tundra of Siberia lying between the Ob and the Pechora. His narrative of this journey was published under the title of The Great Frozen Land (1895) . On his return, he was given the command of the Jackson-Harmsworth Arctic expedition (1894–1897) , which had for its objective the general exploration of Franz Josef Land. ”
