"The broken floes nearing Pikantlik" by Elisha Kent Kane, 1856. Born in Philadelphia, Kane was senior medical officer of the first Grinnell Arctic expedition of 1850-1851 under the command of Edwin de Haven and financed by Henry Grinnell. It searched unsuccessfully for the lost expedition of Sir John Franklin. They did discover Franklin's first Beechy Island winter camp, providing solid clues to Franklin's activities during the winter of 1845. The Grinnell expedition subsequently became ice-bound themselves.
