Hornby cabin, where John Hornby, Edgar Christian and another (I'll try to find the name) died while trying to winter over, living off the land in 1926-1927. The caribou didn't come and they starved. Edgar kept a diary so the tragic tale is known in detail. These are their graves with the original crosses, which are badly decayed, and some more recent replacements. (Craig)
