Thank you very much.

I like to walk through the Dewey Decimal System of my mind in a section that I'm calling Will's History of Famous Survivors from Stuff That Happened in History and the Past.

Thank you.

So you know that I work on it perfectly.

I'm going to start with a very interesting story.

This is a story of somebody named Ada Blackjack from 1921.

Oh, what a name.

Great name.

Ada Blackjack.

She's also known as the forgotten female castaway.

She was stranded on an icy expanse of Wrangel Island in the Arctic after a doom expedition for nearly two years.

What?

She relied on her resourcefulness and determination, hunting and foraging to stay alive as the only survivor.

Despite overwhelming odds and isolation, Ada's quiet strength helped her endure until rescue arrived.

Her remarkable story is a tribute to perseverance in the harshest conditions.

Wait, what year?

What year is this?

1921.

In the Arctic, a woman by herself for two years.

I wonder what she had with her, like, as far as like, was she, did she have shipwreck supplies?
