"Elisha Kent Kane (February 3, 1820 – February 16, 1857) was an American explorer, and a medical officer in the United States Navy during the first half of the 19th century. He was a member of two Arctic expeditions to rescue the explorer Sir John Franklin.
He was present at the discovery of Franklin´s first winter camp, but he did not find out what had happened to the fatal expedition." - (en.wikipedia.org 02.11.2019)
