Winter travelling, Great Slave Lake, Coppermine Expedition of 1819–22
From Round About the North Pole (published 1907) by W. J. Gordon with woodcuts and other illustrations by Edward Whymper (1840-1911). Info from wiki: In the aftermath of the expedition, Franklin was much criticised by local fur traders for his haphazard planning and failure to adapt to the circumstances he faced, but in Britain he was received as a hero, fêted for the courage he had shown in extreme adversity. The expedition captured the public imagination, and in reference to a desperate measure he took while starving, he became known as "the man who ate his boots".
