History, F*ck Yeah: Canadian Arctic Wreckspedition

A true story of disaster and perseverance: When their ship becomes trapped in ice and their leader abandons them, the men of the Canadian Arctic Expedition must find a way to survive.

In 1913, a beat-up old whaling ship called the Karluk was taking the men of the Canadian Arctic Expedition north of Alaska. They were in search of an undiscovered continent and things were going just swell, until their ship became trapped in an ice floe and their leader, Viljamur Steffanson, mushed his huskies for the mainland and left them for dead.

The Karluk drifted for months, aimlessly traveling hundreds of miles farther north. When it became clear that no rescue was coming, Captain Robert Bartlett—who became the de facto leader of the expedition after Steffanson went out for a pack of cigarettes and never came home—knew their only hope rested on his shoulders. So he and his Inuit companion Kataktovik traveled over 700 miles through Siberia to try to reach civilization.
