On UKTV History Yesterday was a program about this man and his attempt to get to the north pole and how he and his first mate survived for three years in the frozen arctic.
It apppears that we have him to thank for the Layer system we use today to keep warm amongst many other things.
An intelligent man with great courage. This program is unmissable for anyone interested in survival skills in the arctic or explorers.
