Ada Blackjack was an Iñupiat woman who lived for two years as a castaway on uninhabited Wrangel Island north of Siberia. She never asked for adventure, but it found her nonetheless. By 1921, the young Iñupiat woman found herself widowed with a young son. In order to earn money to care for him, she joined a dangerous expedition to a frozen island north of Siberia. After two tragic years, she was alone once more, trapped with ferocious bears amid a sea of ice.
