James Murray was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1865. He began the study of medicine, but gave that up to study sculpture at the Glasgow School of Art. After travelling in the United States and Europe, he returned to Glasgow and became a member of the Natural History Society of Glasgow, publishing papers on flora and fauna. In 1902, Murray was appointed biologist on the Scottish Loch Survey, working principally on rotifera and tardigrada. While engaged in this work, he was selected as biologist and naturalist on the British Antarctic Expedition, 1907-1909 (leader Ernest Henry Shackleton). During the absence of the two parties attempting to reach the South Magnetic and Geographical Poles, Murray was placed in charge of the winter quarters, Cape Royds, and spent much of his time examining the flora and fauna of the surrounding district.
On his return from the Antarctic, Murray joined the Bolivian Boundary Commission as naturalist, publishing notes on his scientific work in the region. He joined the Canadian Arctic Expedition, 1913-1918 (leader Vilhjalmur Stefansson), as oceanographer in Karluk . The ship was originally attached to the Northern Division of this expedition, and assigned the role of establishing a base for Stefansson and the scientists on the north-western fringe of the Canadian Arctic archipelago. However, after transporting Stefansson to Alaska, Karluk became beset in the ice and sank. Led by Captain Bob Bartlett, a camp was established on the ice at the site of the wreck. In February 1914, Murray, with three companions, left in an attempt to reach land, and was last seen approaching Herald Island.
