Sir John Ross

Ross led a number of expeditions to find the Northwest Passage, one in 1818 and another in 1829-1833. On the first voyage he was brought to Baffin Bay, the next day he discovered the Booşia Bay and King William Island. In 1850, he failed to discover the traces of Lord John Franklin's fate's expedition (with Sir Robert McClure).

Sir John Rose, the nephew of Sir John Rose, was born on April 15, 1800. He is a British explorer and a naval officer who visited the Arctic Continent and Antarctica to conduct research on the magnetic forces of the earth. Like his uncle, Sir James Clarks joined the navy as soon as possible. (11 years old) In the first year of his service, he was guided and monitored by his uncle, Sir John Ross. In 1818, he and his uncle participated in a controversial voyage looking for a Northwest passage. Ross conducted four explorations with Lord William E. Parry during the Arctic from 1819 to 1827 and studied the life of the Eskimos in several Arctic voyages. Between 1829 and 1833, he spent an additional four and a half to explore the Arctic and acquire the rank of commanders. On May 31, 1831, he found the north pole of the Buchia Peninsula in northern Canada. James Clark Cross also discovered a Victorian barrier later renamed Ross Ice Shelf.

British explorer, Sir John Ross (1777-1856) joined the British Navy at the age of 9 and the rest of his life spent in the sea. In the early nineteenth century, he visited the North Pole, explored the North William Island and the Bosch peninsula, and traveled three times to North Pole, searching for Sir John Franklin's missing exploration. Ross is the fifth son of Andrew Rose and his wife Elizabeth. He was born on 24th June 1777 in Balsarroch in Wilshire, Scotland. He was a boy who joined a ship crew called Pearl and spent the next three years in the Mediterranean. In 1790 he navigated with a solid fleet and his captain Sir Thomas Bairard suggested that he join the merchant ship. He did this and became an apprentice of Bearie for four years, heading to the West Indies and the Baltic Sea. After that, he sailed on many ships as a crew or partner and became a lieutenant in 1805.
