Walking in the Pack, Ross Expedition, by John Edward Davis 1842 ( Captain John Edward Davis (1815-1877) was 2nd Master of the Terror during Ross’ Antarctic expedition)

You can't even go on an expedition to find a passage through dangerous ice fields and die alongside 100+ men for your hubris anymore. Because climate change 🙄

i think they shouldve taken me on a polar expedition not because i would be useful or especially resilient but because my preexisting mental health conditions would have made me an interesting wildcard

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!
