A digital drawing of Gibson and Hickey from AMC's The Terror. Hickey sits in a green leather chair dressed in a captain's uniform while Gibson sits at his side on the floor, legs tucked underneath him. Gibson holds a teapot and teacup in his lap and Hickey looks on at him sappily while he plays with a curl of Gibson's hair.

UK adventurer apologises for record trek claim after Inuit backlash Camilla Hempleman-Adams, who says she is first woman to traverse Canadaโ€™s Baffin Island solo, accused of โ€˜privilege and ignoranceโ€™

Expeditionary performance as colonial rhetoric. Claiming to be 'first' as a form of unpeopling.

Ada Blackjack: Stranded on Wrangel Island (U.S. National Park Service)

Women's History Month......

Everybody should know about Ada Blackjack. She was a great Alaskan who survived an exploration fiasco of epic proportions. If you know anything about polar exploration and don't recognize her name, then you are really missing out. home.nps.gov/articles/000...
