I want to go see some of the Gley expedition ruins. I think that they're still there actually some of the huts. This was an American expedition to Greenland back during the 1800s. Great book about it I read called A Kingdom of Ice.
Why people recommend it
Kingdom of Ice is a historical book by Paula M. Hunter that details historical polar exploration. On an episode of Breaking Points titled ULTIMATE TACO: Trump Caves On Greenland After Market Reaction, broadcast on January 22, 2026, Emily Jashinsky discussed the book while exploring historical connections to Greenland. Jashinsky expressed a personal fascination with the physical remnants of past polar endeavors, mentioning her desire to visit the actual site ruins and remaining huts associated with an American expedition to Greenland that took place during the nineteenth century. To provide context for this interest, she enthusiastically recommended the book she had read on the subject, identifying it as A Kingdom of Ice. Her recommendation highlighted the dramatic and harrowing nature of historical Arctic exploration, connecting past geopolitical and scientific ambitions in extreme northern climates to contemporary discussions about the region. Through her remarks, Jashinsky directed the audience's attention to the gripping real-life accounts of early American explorers who braved the harsh and unforgiving environments of the far north.
