Voyage au Pole Sud…\u00a0<\/strong>reported on the geography, geology, anthropology and natural history of Oceania (Australia, New Zealand, Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia) and the South Pacific, which d’Urville had explored on a voyage between 1837 and 1840. He enlisted scientific collaborators to write and illustrate each section. The zoology section contained about 110 plates, including 29 of mammals.<\/p>\n

Jules Sebastien Cesar Dumont d’Urville was a French explorer, naval officer, and botanist who extensively surveyed and explored Oceania, the South Pacific, the Falklands, and Antarctica, making a major contribution to scientific understanding of the geography and biology of those areas. His explorations of the region began with a voyage on La Coquille <\/em>in 1822-25. He followed with two lengthy surveys as commander of the Astrolabe,<\/em> the first in 1826-29. During the second voyage, between 1837 and 1840, on the ships the Astrolabe<\/em> and the\u00a0Z\u00e9l\u00e9e<\/em>, his expedition penetrated the ice pack south of New Zealand and discovered the Ad\u00e9lie Coast region of Antarctica, which d’Urville named for his wife, Adele. Earlier in his career, D’Urville encountered the newly-discovered Venus de Milo while surveying the Mediterranean, and brought it to the attention of the Louvre, where it remains a featured part of the collection. He published several books with scientific collaborators about his voyages, including this one.<\/p>\n
