Worst Journey

A screenshot from the conclusion of the linked article: Finally, there is clear evidence that, before sailing towards the Weddell Sea, Shackleton knew that compressive ice loading should be expected, he knew how a ship should be designed for compressive ice, and he knew that Endurance was not that kind of a ship. Shackleton was well aware of the risks related to the strength of Endurance, but chose to use it anyway.

Silas and Pyaree

*Silas Wright was assigned an Indian mule named Pyaree for the Search Journey, and in his journal he tries a different spelling every time before giving up and just calling her "P."

Somebody ring up Silas, we've got another spelling!

If you see this, quote the energy you bring to Bluesky

From The Sphere, 24 May 1913. A photo of a small black kitten in someone's beefy hand. Caption: "A mascot of the second Scott expedition. Kitten on board the Terra Nova." Digitised by Sarah Airriess Sept 2025.

The world may be going on fire, but on the other hand, I found a baby photo of The Cat Who Must Not Be Named.

Unfortunately for me, this was after I did the bulk of my research, but fortunately, there is now a massive polar fandom with mad online research skills who are digging this stuff up and sharing it.

A lot of archives spent the pandemic digitising everything they hold and putting it online for free.

The Drake meme. Top, unacceptable: [headline on BBC News site] "Captain Scott's famous polar shipwreck as never seen before" Bottom, nice: [blatantly corrected] "Captain Scott's famous polar ship'S wreck as never seen before"

This has been bothering me all day.
The Terra Nova isn't famous for being Scott's shipwreck.
It's famous for being Scott's ship. It was sunk deliberately after being holed by ice, 31 years after he died, on the other side of the planet.
