McClintock Map
Copy of an Eskimo map made by McClintock during a sledge journey from HMS Fox in February and March, 1859, and taken out again on his subsequent journey from April to June, 1859, when the relics of Franklin’s expedition were found. Leopold McClintock’s rendering of a map drawn in the snow by Oonalee, a Netsilingmiut Inuk whom McClintock met on the Boothia Peninsula in 1859. He gave their positioning as 10’ SE of the North Magnetic Pole. Oonalee’s map indicated the position of the ship when she sank. The spot is shown in relation to Kiikertaksuaq, the Inuit term for King William Island. (Photo by Francis Leopold M. McClinkock/Royal Geographical Society via Getty Images)
