NARES, SIR GEORGE STRONG (1831 ) , English Arctic explorer, son of a captain in the navy, was educated at the Royal Naval College at New
Cross
 , and entered the navy in 1846. After being employed for some time on the Australian station, in 1852 he became
mate
  of the " Resolute " in the. Arctic expedition which was sent out in that year. Serving in the Crimea upon his return, he was appointed
lieutenant
  in charge of the naval cadets on the inauguration of the " Britannia " training ship, and was then employed in surveying
work
  on the N.E.
coast
  of Australia and in the Mediterranean, attaining the rank of captain in 1869. While in command of the " Challenger " (18721874), in the famous voyage of deep-sea exploration round the world, he was ordered
home
  to take command of the Arctic expedition which set sail in the
spring
  of 1875 in the ships " Alert " and " Discovery." He published a narrative of the voyage on his return, and for his services was made K.C.B. (1876). Two years later he was sent in command of the" Alert " to survey
Magellan
  Strait. From 1879 to 1896 he was attached to the Harbour Department of the Board of
Trade
 . He retired from active service in 1886, and became a vice-
admiral
  in 1892. (See POLAR REGIONS.)
