A digital drawing of Gibson and Hickey from AMC's The Terror.

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...
