The second omnibus in the "History for Young Canadians" series gathers four classic narratives of 19th-century Arctic exploration. Published by Fifth House Publishers, the volume traces the voyages and mapping efforts that revealed Canada's northern islands.

The book pairs dramatic expedition tales—ships trapped in ice, long searches and navigational challenges—with attention to Inuit knowledge and survival techniques that shaped outcomes. It follows key figures whose quests expanded European maps of the Arctic.

• Parry of the Arctic — early island exploration and icebound endurance
• Jane Franklin's Obsession — searches that advanced Arctic mapping
• Dr. Kane of the Arctic Seas — ambitious quests for a polar sea
• Trapped in the Arctic — two years frozen and the Northwest Passage struggle

Suitable for young adults and anyone interested in polar history, the collection offers vivid, historically grounded accounts of exploration and cultural encounter.
