Roald Amundsen was the greatest polar explorer of all time. Ice bound for months in what is now Gjoa Haven local Inuit taught Amundsen how to dress for the conditions. Today modern fabrics have replaced Caribou hide but we retain the fur ruff that Amundsen found so essential to his crossings of Greenland and Antarctica.
