LOCATION:Zoom Virtual Meeting :: Comox Ave Comox, 
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Join Caroline Preston for this week's Tea & Talk to discuss stories from the Canadian Arctic Expedition. During the Canadian Arctic Expedition (1913-18), the ship Karluk was trapped in the ice and drifted nearly to Wrangel Island off Siberia; 12 out of 25 survived in a harrowing example of heroism, frailty and a flawed leader, Vilhjalmur Stefansson. This talk’s focus is his unauthorized “colonization” of Wrangel Island for Canada (1921-23). Out of five (including one token young Canadian), only the Inupiat woman Ada Blackjack survived. They were all heroes and their stories should be told.
