Albert Borlase Armitage, Scottish polar explorer, c1894-c1897 (1899). Armitage (1864-1943) using a sextant while on the Jackson-Harmsworth Expedition to Franz-Josef Land in the Arctic. He was responsible for compiling astronomical, meteorological and magnetic records. The three-year expedition established that Franz Josef Land was in fact a small archipelago rather than a land mass that extended to the North Pole, as its leader, Frederick George Jackson, had believed. A print from A Thousand Days in the Arctic, by Frederick G Jackson, Volume II, Harper & Brothers, London, 1899.
