did stumble across an evil pseudoarchaeology conspiracy theory type video on here earlier today about the terra nova expedition but it made me laugh a lot because it showed that one photo of hooper posing with the Heinz baked beans like an instagram influencer right before a million ai generated photos of fake Antarctic ruins
did you know there’s other versions of the beans pic?
THERE ARE MORE?
I found this collection that has a whole bunch of photos (including five versions of the bean pic)

I've been wanting to do a full-crew Endurance illustration for a long time, and finally the gang's all here! 28 men, dogs and cat all accounted for, with every crew member referencing either a photo of them or a story about them. It's a little over two years since I first read Lansing's Endurance and I couldn't be happier to still be researching and drawing these guys :)

Gotta love how in books about polar exploration, members of other expeditions keep showing up randomly like it's all just a cast of the same 20 white guys going back and forth between the north and south pole.

TIL anyone who's going to overwinter in Antarctica has to have had their appendix out. Because removing an appendix that's not causing any trouble just as a precaution is way better than having one that's about to burst when you're on the ass-end of the planet with no way to be rushed to a hospital if shit gets real.
No, by the way, we absolutely did not think of this ahead of time. A dude named Leonid Rogozov got appendicitis in Antarctica. Fortunately, the expedition's doctor diagnosed him quickly and knew how to remove an appendix. Unfortunately, our man Leo was the expedition's doctor.
What did he do? Well, he set up a mirror, gave his belly a shot of novocaine, presumably told a colleague, "hold my vodka," and he removed his own fucking appendix. He survived.
