one tab open on the terror (2018), the other tab open on “schools with polar studies degree”
the exact opposite of "damn and they'll have to deal with godzilla too" happens to people who watch the terror and message me like "what do you mean there's a creature"
I believe in the fundamental goodness of humanity because I have seen the Polar Exploration and Age of Sail enthusiasts.

rest in peace thomas armitage. died tragically and miserably under mysterious lead-based circumstances in the arctic tundra circa 1848 on a failed expedition only to have your decaying frozen bones get mislabeled, shoddily reburied, have your boyfriends wallet and diary taken away from you to be archived, meanwhile you get gnawed on by various creatures for another hundred years, just to be rediscovered again later and laid out on a piece of plywood from the Home Depot, and then get shoved in a bag which was placed in an acid free box and then shipped to ottawa in the early 1970s just to have some unpaid intern along the line lose your bones. and no one even gives a fuck.

Arctic Menu
On 15 May 1875 John Barrow attended a dinner at the Admiralty in honour of Capt. George Nares' upcoming Arctic Expedition. Also present among others: Sirs George Back & Leopold McClintock. There was some interesting Arctic cuisine written on the menu!

The perfect gift for your budding polar explorer: Game of to the North Pole by Air Ship, new for 1897!
The game is possibly inspired by Swedish explorer Salomon Andrée's 1897 attempt to reach the North Pole by balloon (which did not go well). Presumably it was made before Andrée's grim fate was known.
Is this Greenland (because it's green), or Svalbard? Either way, the objective appears to be nestled in a verdant mountain valley. Just like the real North Pole!
GUYS NO
No but i think it would be great fun
