I was watching an episode of NOVA the other night (1-16-2007), about
the British explorers who were searching for the Northwest Passage during the 1840's. DId you see it? Then you can probably figure out why I'm asking this---besides, when was the
last time that you saw an orange tree growing at the North Pole?
Me either!

They ate every part of the animal, skin, cartilage, every organ and even undigested food out of the guts.
If the animal is a herbivore they will get a little bit of fibre and plant minerals, also the liver stores most of the vitamins, including a little Vit C.
It isnt a lot, but their bodies manage with the little they get.

The got it by eating **everything** edible in the animals they hunted, including organ meats such as the liver which is rich in vitamin C.
