Fort Reliance, Northwest Territories

Fort Reliance is located on the east arm of Great Slave Lake, Northwest Territories, Canada. It was originally built in 1833 by George Back during the Arctic Land Expedition to the Arctic Ocean via the Back River. The expedition, partly scientific and partly searching for the missing John Ross, used Fort Reliance as a winter camp. Back's fort was made up of a main house with several smaller ones that were constructed from logs. The houses had stone and clay chimneys for heating.
