The French naval officer Joseph René Bellot (1826–53) took part in an Arctic voyage to find the Franklin expedition. Bellot's detailed journal was translated into English and published in two volumes in 1855. Volume 1 covers the start of the journey; Volume 2 describes surviving the Arctic winter.
Joseph René Bellot (1826–53) was a French naval officer whose travels took him from Africa to the Arctic before his tragic death at the age of 27. In 1851 he joined a British expedition to search for the missing polar explorer Sir John Franklin (1786–1847), whose expedition to find the North-West Passage was last heard of in July 1845. Although the voyage was unsuccessful in its search, it explored previously unknown areas of the Arctic. Bellot kept extensive notes about his journey in this remote region; they originally appeared in French in 1854 and were translated into English in 1855 and published in two volumes. Volume 1 contains a biography of Bellot, who was regarded as a hero in both France and Britain, and the first part of his journal; Volume 2 describes surviving the Arctic winter, and inland expeditions by dog-sledge.

Volume 1: Preface; Journal of Joseph René Bellot. Volume 2: Journal of Joseph René Bellot; Notes and documents; The Bellot testimonial fund.
