caption_attribution_description: Map of Franz Josef Land&#160;: showing journeys and discoveries of Frederick G. Jackson, F.R.G.S., leader of the Jackson-Harmsworth Polar Expedition 1894-7 Scale 1:1.000.000 Publisher: London, Royal Geographical Society Lithogr., color, 31 × 41 cm Published in v. 11, no. 2, February 1898 issue of the Geographical Journal, accompanying article titled "Three years’ exploration in Franz Josef Land" by Frederick G. Jackson.
context_page_description: The Jackson–Harmsworth expedition of 1894–1897 to Franz Josef Land was led by British Arctic explorer Frederick George Jackson and financed by newspaper proprietor Alfred Harmsworth. Jackson had been misled by false maps into believing that Franz Joseph Land was a land mass that extended to the North Pole. The survey which was the main work of the expedition eventually proved that the land was in fact an archipelago, whose northernmost island stretched no further than 81° N.
  The expedition party consisted of astronomer and meteorologist Albert Armitage, physician and geologist Reginald Koettlitz, mineralogist J.F. Child, and botanist and zoologist Harry Fisher—who in 1896 was replaced by William S. Bruce.
