He is primarily noted for his contributions to Arctic exploration literation.  \"Moss was a naval surgeon on Nares' flagship, Alert, but also served as artist for the expedition, producing this sumptuous volume two years after the expedition returned. Although his preface disclaims a narrative intent for the book and places his emphasis on pictorial efforts, the book still provides a substantial and engaging account of the Nares expedition (1875-76).\" (Books on Ice 4.7)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trillium Rare Prints","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43765779267658,"sku":"moss-polar","price":3500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/7960\/7882\/files\/moss-polar-1-scaled.jpg?v=1783281846"}],"url":"https:\/\/trilliumrareprints.com\/collections\/moss.oembed","provider":"Trillium Rare Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
