Canadian Arctic Expedition
The Canadian Arctic Expedition was a scientific and exploratory mission that took place from 1913 to 1918. Led by Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the expedition aimed to study the geography, biology, and ethnology of the Arctic regions of Canada. It involved extensive travel across the Arctic Archipelago and aimed to gather valuable data about the environment and indigenous peoples.
The expedition faced numerous challenges, including harsh weather conditions and limited supplies. Despite these difficulties, it contributed significantly to the understanding of the Arctic ecosystem and the cultures of the Inuit people. The findings helped shape future Arctic research and exploration efforts.
