The Polaris expedition of 1871-1873 was one of the strangest tragedies in the history of Arctic exploration. Less than five months after setting out to lead the first official American party to the North Pole, the expedition's leader, Captain Charles Francis Hall, was dead, likely murdered by his crew. The Polaris was locked in ice; nineteen of its crew and passengers were forced to embark on what would be the longest ice-drift in history. Remarkably, all survived--thanks in large part to the skills of one woman, Tookoolito, Hall's thirty-four-year-old Inuit translator.
