EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remarkable story of Ada Blackjack, the sole survivor of the tragic Wrangel Island expedition. In this poignant portrait, we see Ada, an Eskimo seamstress, standing proudly with her young son who eagerly welcomes her back to Seattle after being rescued by Harold Noice, leader of a relief expedition sent into the Arctic. Taken on 17 November 1923 by Central News, this monochrome image showcases not only Ada's resilience but also her role as an indigenous explorer and heroine. The photograph beautifully portrays their traditional attire and highlights the strong bond between mother and son. Ada's survival against all odds is a testament to human strength in extreme conditions. This snapshot serves as a reminder of both triumph over adversity and the enduring spirit of exploration that characterized the twentieth century. Preserved within Europeana Photography archives, this historical gem offers us a glimpse into an extraordinary chapter in Arctic exploration. It stands as a tribute to Ada Blackjack's courage while shedding light on lesser-known stories from our past
