Parry led three voyages of exploration to the Arctic, their major acheivement being "the charting of hundreds of miles of coastline in the Canadian Arctic archipelago and the collecting of valuable data on Arctic natural history" (Hill). Hill notes that the supplement volume of natural history published in 1824 was "much rarer" than the voyage volumes themselves.
