EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures a moment in time during Sir John Franklin's historic Arctic expedition of 1818-1819, as Esquimaux natives build an igloo in the harsh, wintry landscape. The Esquimaux, also known as Inuit, are expertly constructing the snow hut using their traditional methods, which involved carefully carving blocks of snow and fitting them together like a jigsaw puzzle. The intricate process is on full display here, with several Esquimaux working together to create the structure's dome and passageway. The Esquimaux people, renowned for their remarkable ability to thrive in the extreme Arctic conditions, were an essential resource for Franklin's expedition. Their knowledge and skills in navigating the treacherous waters and surviving the harsh climate proved invaluable to the explorers. In this photograph, we see the Esquimaux creeping into the passage of the igloo, likely to insulate it further and prepare it for occupancy. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the Esquimaux people and their unique culture. It also highlights the importance of indigenous knowledge and collaboration in the context of historical explorations. The photograph's historical significance is further underscored by its association with Sir John Franklin's groundbreaking Arctic expedition, which helped expand our understanding of the world and paved the way for future explorations.
