🌨️ Alone in the Arctic.
For 2 years, her only companion was a cat. 🐾
In 1921, Ada Blackjack, a young Inuit mother, joined an Arctic expedition—not as an explorer, but as a seamstress trying to earn money for her sick son.
When the men she worked with ran out of supplies, they left across the ice to search for help. None of them ever returned.
Ada was left behind on Wrangel Island… with freezing winds, prowling polar bears, and a single cat named Vic.
🧊 She trapped foxes for food.
🧊 She fought off predators.
🧊 She stitched warm clothes from animal skins with her frozen hands.
Through endless nights, the cat curled beside her, giving her warmth and comfort.
After nearly two years of isolation, rescuers finally arrived. Ada Blackjack—frail, exhausted, but alive—had done the impossible.
History almost forgot her name.
But Ada wasn’t just a seamstress.
She was a survivor, a mother, and a legend. 💪❄️
👉 What do you think? Should Ada’s story be taught in schools as one of history’s greatest tales of survival?
