Charles Francis Hall made three trips to Greenland in search of a northern route. During his trips he spent most of his time living amongst the Inuit Eskimos studying their culture, lives and language. Help us transcribe his diaries with some of the first know studies of Greenland inhabitants as well as the first translation of their native language into English.
