WHY IS THIS BIT IN QUOTATION MARKS - "This impressive experience, as well as the scientific and ethnological information gathered by Ross's team, brought him the renown that he had long sought." - WHO SAID IT?

Ross himself didn't discover magnetic North. Rather his nephew did. This is stated in the Biography linked to from the article. - 206.75.99.84 20:13, 22 February 2007 (UTC) Jacq
