    How did early explorers economize with the provisions for a polar expedition?

    Question #26385. Asked by RND. (Jan 13 03 6:36 AM)

    		According to this site, it was by feeding the dogs daenge, a mixture of chopped
    up fish, tallow, and maize-meal, all boiled together into a sort of porridge.
    This dish was served three times a week, and the dogs were simply mad for it.

    Unfortunately, sometimes the dogs where eaten on the way back.

    		Before the expedition the explorers deliberately ate a lot of fatty foods and put on several pounds of extra weight so that the fat would serve as food and fuel.
