    American seal captain Benjamin Morrell undertook several expeditions between 1823 and 1831 to the Pacific Islands, Southern Ocean, and Atlantic Ocean, making claims in his memoir that geographers and historians later refuted, including being the first to land on Bouvet Island and discovering a coastline he called New South Greenland. Many of his assertions, such as reaching 70 degrees south in the Weddell Sea and making an incredibly fast journey of 3,500 miles at high latitudes, have been disputed or disproved. He became a wanted man after crashing his ship and stealing some of the salvaged goods.

    American seal captain and explorer Benjamin Morrell (1795–ca.

    1839) undertook a number of expeditions


    between 1823 and 1831, mostly to the Pacific Islands, the Southern Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean. Geographers
    and historians have refuted a significant number of the assertions made in his ghostwritten memoir, A Narrative
    of Four Voyages, particularly those pertaining to his adventures in Antarctica. He became known for it. Many of
    his claims—including the first landing on Bouvet Island, a Weddell Sea penetration to 70° S, an incredibly
    quick journey of 3,500 miles (5,600 km) at improbable high latitudes, and the discovery of a coastline he named
    New South Greenland—have been disputed or disproved. He ended up becoming a wanted man after crashing
    his ship and stealing some of the salvaged goods.
