Day 4: The Danco Coast, Errera Channel, & Lemaire Channel
far beyond anything we had before seen or could have conceived.”
– Captain James Clark Ross
Day 5: Grandidier Channel & Furthest South
The clouds were of a perfect snow whiteness and were difficult to distinguish from the ice hills…
The edge of this immense icefield was composed of loose or broken ice so close packed together that nothing
could enter it. It was indeed my opinion as well as that of most on board that this Ice extended quite to the pole
or perhaps joins some land to which it had been fixed from creation”
– Captain James Cook, 1774
