Born to Wealth and Privilege, John Hornby and James Critchell-Bullock turned their backs on England's comforts to seek adventure abroad: Hornby as "the hermit of the north", exploring Canada's uncharted lands, Critchell-Bullock as a Bengal Lancer, defending the frontiers of Empire in Asia and Africa. Their paths crossed in 1923, when they set out together on an expedition to the Barren Lands, the vast, treeless sweep of taiga, lakes, and glaciers near Hudson's Bay on the Arctic rim of North America. The goal was both simple and daring: to become the first Europeans to live an entire year in the Barrens, supported only by their wits and their weapons.
