Fun fact - the explorer Fritioff Nansen mentioned here actually has helped thousands of ethnic Bulgarians go to Bulgaria after the territory we won during the Second Balkan War was eventually given to Greece.Greece revoked their citizenship leaving them stateless and forcefully deported them. Using the “Nansen” passport they were given free passage to go and settle where they wanted after (Bulgaria).

It is infuriating how blind and self absorbed the Victorians were when talking about other races or cultures.

The Victoria Straight is the worst

A new Arctic peoples have arrived in my knowledge now after the Inuets and Sami - the Nenets!!!

“Echoing explorers before and after them, the new arrivals’ first impulse was to slaughter and plunder.”
