He also accompanied Sir William Parry on his four Arctic expeditions between 1819 and 1827, and his uncle again on Sir John's second Arctic voyage from 1829 to 1833. Between 1839 and 1843 Ross commanded this Antarctic expedition in the vessels HMS Erebus andTerror and charted much of the coastline of the continent, with Joseph Dalton Hooker the assistant surgeon. In 1841, James Ross discovered the Ross Sea, Victoria Land, and the volcanoes Mounts Erebus and Terror, as well as the low, flat-topped ice shelf they called the Victoria Barrier, later named "Ross Ice Shelf" in his honour. "Once this account became public, no one could doubt there was a great southern continent of immense proportions to be explored." Taurus Collection
