“When we were about mid-channel, a sudden squall came on – it rained hard – and the rays of the sun…cast a beautiful yellow tinge over the white foam of the dark green sea. We were admiring this spectacle with delight when a huge wave… broached our canoe and we narrowly escaped sinking.” Admiral Sir George Back (6 November 1796 – 23 June 1878) a British naval officer, explorer of the Canadian Arctic, naturalist … and artist!
