Sep 18 1915 Chicago Tribune #OTD reports that Arctic explorer, Vilhjalmur Stefansson, emerges from icy wasteland with tales of new lands.

Stefansson organized and directed the Canadian Arctic Expedition 1913–1916. When his ships became stuck in the ice he travelled under the idea he would get fresh meat for the crew of the ship but his party became separated when the ice floe became separated and drifted Westward. 

The remaining crew then experienced an epic voyage to Wrangel Island from which they barely survived.

A fictionalized account of the voyage was written by Eric Walters, Trapped in Ice

In the northeast of what is now the country of Tanzania sits Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain in Africa. At the base of the mountain live the Chagga people, known throughout the region as the caretakers of the mountain. Co-written by Eric Walters and Godfrey Nkongolo, Light a Candle weaves nonfiction with fiction to tell the story of a boy coming of age in the shadow of Kilimanjaro and his father, the chief of their tribe. The boy climbs the mountain against his father's wishes to fulfill a request of the country's first leader, Julius Nyerere, to light a candle on the top of the mountain and unify the mainland of Tanganyika and the islands of Zanzibar as one country, the United Republic of Tanzania.
