EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment at Reindeer Camp in King Williams Land during the groundbreaking Arctic expedition led by American explorer George De Long and his ship, the Jeanette. Dated between 1879 and 1881, this image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the explorers as they interacted with the indigenous people and their reindeer. De Long's expedition aimed to prove that the Arctic Sea ice was not stationary, as previously believed, but was instead moved by ocean currents. This revolutionary discovery challenged the scientific understanding of the Arctic region and expanded the knowledge of its complex geography. In this photograph, we see several individuals, likely members of the expedition or local reindeer herders, drying furs in the sun. The antlers of the reindeer are displayed prominently, hinting at their importance as a valuable resource for both survival and trade. The presence of an igloo in the background adds to the sense of the harsh yet beautiful Arctic environment. This image not only documents an important moment in the history of Arctic exploration but also showcases the cultural exchange between explorers and the indigenous people. The photograph is a testament to the spirit of discovery and the resilience of those who dared to venture into the unknown.
