Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: INV-JED
JACKSON, FREDERICK GEORGE (186o ) , British Arctic explorer, was educated at Denstone College and Edinburgh University. His first voyage in Arctic waters was on a whaling-cruise in 1886-1887, and in 1893 he made a sledge-journey of 3000 miles across the frozen
tundra
  of
Siberia
  lying between the Ob and the Pechora. His narrative of this journey was published under the
title
  of The
Great
  Frozen
Land
  (1895). On his return, he was given the command of the Jackson-Harmsworth Arctic expediton (18941897), which had for its objective the general exploration of Franz Josef
Land
 . In recognition of his services he received a
knighthood
  of the first class of the Danish Royal Order of St Olaf in 1898, and was awarded the gold
medal
  of the Paris Geographical Society in 1899. His
account
  of the expedition was published under the
title
  of A Thousand Days in the Arctic (1899). He served in
South
  Africa during the Boer War, and obtained the rank of captain. His travels also include a journey across the Australian deserts.
