happy birthday James Clark Ross!!
Today we must all think about his disorganised and slightly ridiculous decor choices for his cabin onboard Erebus during the Antarctic expedition
Some photos especially for @prouvvaire & @MrBoatman1845 but also for everybody else who has never been to the National Maritime Museum Greenwich. I always have a little stroll through the Polar Worlds gallery after an archive visit. ❤️❄️🧭

After over 170 years Captain James Fitzjames was identified among the remains of Franklin’s lost expedition, I didn’t expect to be that emotional about these news. So here, quick sketch of our favourite officer
And thanks to @CaptFitzjamesRN for her work in making this possible
Today marks 10 years since the location of the #HMSErebus wreck, from the legendary 1845 #FranklinExpedition!⚓ This historic find was made possible through invaluable Inuit oral history, knowledge, and collaboration with #ParksCanada’s Underwater Archaeology Team and partners.
Before @GovTimWalz took the stage at #MinnPostFest, we had to ask him what his Roman Empire was.
It turns out the governor often thinks about the sinking of the Endurance in Antarctica and the amazing two-year survival of Ernest Shackleton and his crew.
