Stefansson the Arctic Ethnologist Returns From Four Year Arctic Quest
R Vilhjalmur Stefansson, Arctic ethnologist and Harvard graduate, spent four years in the frozen north conducting study for the American Museum of Natural History. He reported discovering a blond Eskimo race of about 2000 with blue eyes and sandy beards, possibly descendants of early Scandinavian colonists. He traveled 10,000 miles on foot and 2,000 by river, noting civilization harmed Eskimos morally and physically, while caribou hunting with rifles reduced game to little challenge.
