Stefansson’s Arctic Quest Heads East To Seek Crocker Land
Seattle dispatch recounts Vilhjalmur Stefansson leading twenty white men and nineteen Eskimos aboard the Polar Bear as they push from Melville Island toward the northeast passage. The Karluk disaster in 1913 left eight men rescued in 1914, with Stefansson continuing exploration of a newly found land northwest of Prince Patrick Island. Fourteen Canadian expedition members died from exposure, illness, or suicide after the Karluk wreck and Wrangel Island ordeal.
