The Karluk expedition, part of the Canadian Arctic Expedition led by Vilhjalmur Stefansson in 1913, saw the tragic death of several crew members. Notably, the ship's captain, Robert Bartlett, survived, but the expedition's leader, Stefansson, was not present when the crew faced hardships. Ultimately, the most significant loss was that of the ship's engineer, who was among those who perished due to harsh conditions and inadequate supplies. The expedition faced extreme challenges, leading to the deaths of several crew members during their time on Wrangel Island.
