Wrangel Island could rightfully be called the "Siberia of the Arctic"—but worse. For more than a century explorers wound up on its shores, intentionally or otherwise. The Russians tried to secure their claim by installing a year-round population. Those efforts ended in murder. Now, Wrangel boasts a large population of musk ox that thrive in the wind and the cold. Their luxurious qiviut—millions of dollars worth—is left to rot on the tundra.
