Book Synopsis Meta Incognita: a discourse of discovery - volume 1 by : Thomas H. B. Symons
Book excerpt: The Meta Incognita Project was initiated to cast new light on the Arctic voyages of Martin Frobisher and their significance for the histories of North America and Britain. Although the Elizabethan venture failed to discover a northwest passage to mines and precious metals, and to establish a colony in the future Canadian Arctic, it left valuable legacies.
