I was saving @beyondthebreakers.bsky.social Karluk expedition series for my Alaska trip but I ended up not listening then. I'm listening to it today and it's even more fascinating than the facts I already knew. Fuck Stefansson and your friendly Arctic - I love the frozen North but it isn't friendly

spent about 3 hours hunting (successfully 😀) through scans of 1610s history/travel writing for a specific full quotation that was referenced in other places but not included entirely. It will take up 30 - 45 seconds of show time to read in the episode
