This is the true story of how a boat named "Karluk" (which means
fish in the Aleutian language) became stuck in the Arctic ice during
a 1913 expedition. Besides the captain and crew, the boat had 40
sled dogs Inupiat (Native American) hunters and an Inupiat family
on board. You'll be hooked by this amazing story of survival ---
and you'll learn more about the Inupiat culture, too.
