[edit] Malaspina expedition, Klondike
In Pierre Berton's Klondike he recounts the horrifying tale of the crossing of the Malaspina Glacier; all but a few died, the remainder coming out on the Tanana, just as far in travel terms from Dawson as when they had set out. There's a story about a beast that leapt up out crevasses in his tale, which is drawn from period sources/diaries; thought it might be neat to include here, even a blockquote, but I don't own a copy.Skookum1 (talk) 04:22, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
