Anyway I'm reading this book about the Franklin Expedition and one of the things they had with them was rubber gloves lined with wool, which is simultaneously sort of genius for Englishmen but also can you imagine how manky those things got inside?

I mean it's not like there was anywhere to go for help at the time. And by the time they knew they were in trouble it was extremely too late to walk out of the arctic. Although some of them may have still been alive when the first rescue Expedition tried to find them in 1850.

As far as I recall, but my memory may be wrong, but the Inuit stories about the expedition were summed up to me as, we were basically right there and we could have helped them. Although that was towards the end certainly.
