"We did not all come back." Thus begins the rare firsthand account
of the extraordinary ordeal of the Karluk, the flagship of explorer
Vilhjalmar Stefansson's Arctic expedition of 1913-1916. When ice
trapped the Karluk, Stefansson abandoned Captain Robert A. Bartlett
and the crew-eleven of whom perished-to their fate. When the ice
crushed the Karluk and sank her, Bartlett led the shipwrecked
survivors safely to Wrangell Island. From there, with one Inuit
companion, he journeyed across 700 miles of frozen seas and
Siberian wilderness to return with rescuers. It is a feat that
rivals Shackleton's own celebrated efforts to seek for the crew of
the Endurance.
