About the author

Philip Parker King

Philip Parker King

1793–1856

An Australian-born naval officer and explorer, he helped chart long stretches of the Australian coast and later led the first voyage of HMS Beagle through the coasts of South America. His journals and surveys opened up a clearer picture of lands that were still little known to Europeans.
