Storkerson, Storker T : Storker T. Storkerson, arctic explorer from Norway, first came to the Canadian Arctic in 1906 with the Leffingwell-Michelsen Expedition. He accompanied Stefansson on his 1908-1912 exploration and was a member of the Canadian Arctic Expedition, 1914-1918. During this expedition, he traversed the north coast of Victoria Island in 1915, and again in 1917. In 1918, when Stefansson was ill, he took charge of the ice drift party that explored the Beaufort Sea north of Alaska.
