Last but not least, meet Ada Blackjack. 23 years old. From Nome, Alaska. She was a single mother who had divorced her abusive husband and needed money to support her three-year-old son. When she heard about an expedition looking to hire local Inuit to help with sewing and hunting, she signed up. She was an expert seamstress, but she was deathly afraid of guns and polar bears and knew nothing about surviving in the wild. But she was desperate for money. On the day they were to set sail for the high Arctic, Ada was the only Inuit to show up at the docks. She fell in love with Crawford’s green eyes and elegant manner, but the men looked at her as an obstacle that would hold them back and interfere with their expedition. No one could foresee what would happen… Two years later, Ada alone emerged from the Arctic, having taught herself the skills she needed to survive. ❄️❄️❄️ #adablackjack #heroineofthenorth #femaleRobinsonCrusoe #wrangelisland #arctic #arcticexploration #explorer #adventure #girlpower #inspiringwomen #arcticexpedition #polarexplorer #strongwomen #womenempowerment #womenhistorymonth
