- W4300196470 abstract "Admiral Sir Francis Leopold McClintock from Dundalk, Co. Louth gained fame and rank through his exploits in the Royal Navy during expeditions inside the Arctic Circle in Northern Canada in search of the missing expedition of Sir John Franklin. During voyages in the 1840s and 1850s McClintock perfected sledging techniques that allowed for long trips, far from the safety of the ship. He collected geological 'waistcoat pocket' sized specimens and helped to produce one of the first bedrock maps of the area around the Northwest Passage. McClintock's fossils were described by Samuel Haughton and Oswald Heer. They included Tertiary plants that show a warm polar region before the ice cap developed and Jurassic ammonites that caused a stir in the 1860s with the suggestion of warmer waters at the poles in the past. McClintock brought his collections back to the Royal Dublin Society museum where they now form part of the National Museum of Ireland collections. In addition to geological specimens, he brought a polar bear and two musk oxen that have been on exhibition longer that the current museum building has been in existence. For over 150 years McClintock has been famous as the man who put the bullet hole in the polar bear seen by generations of Irish visitors to the 'dead zoo'." @default.
