博客來This volume, part of the larger ＂Report on the Scientific Results of the Voyage of H.M.S. Challenger,＂ documents the findings of the historic Challenger expedition of 1873-1876. Under the command of Captain George S. Nares and the late Captain Frank Tourle Thomson, the H.M.S. Challenger undertook a groundbreaking voyage of scientific exploration, charting previously unknown ocean depths and collecting a vast array of biological and geological specimens.
Edited by Sir Charles Wyville Thomson and Sir John Murray, this report presents detailed scientific observations and analyses, offering invaluable insights into the oceanography and marine biology of the late 19th century. This work remains a significant resource for understanding the early development of oceanographic science and the profound impact of the Challenger expedition on our knowledge of the world’s oceans.
