Francis Crozier
Captain Francis Rawdon Moira Crozier (; 17 October 1796 – disappeared 26 April 1848) was a Royal Navy officer and explorer who participated in six expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic. In 1843, he became a fellow of the Royal Society for his scientific work during his expeditions. Later, he was second-in-command to Sir John Franklin and captain of HMS Terror during what would become Franklin's lost expedition, to discover the Northwest Passage in the Canadian Arctic, ending with the loss of all 129 crewmen. Many places in the Arctic and Antarctic are named after him. He, with James Clark Ross and Richard Moody, was also responsible for selecting the location of the capital of the Falkland Islands, Port Stanley, in 1843.
