The British Arctic Expedition of 1875-6 was the first major British naval expedition to the high Arctic and it reached the highest northern latitude to date. The Royal Society compiled instructions for the expedition, and selected two full-time naturalists of whom one, Henry Wemyss Feilden, proved a worthy choice.
