While my paid patrons get all the perks, as an impoverished researcher who has benefited from the generosity of my colleagues, I believe in making research freely available – eventually. Linked above is a post my supporters got in March which is free to everyone now, in which I address a question that has dogged polar historians trying to unpick truth from mythology: Who, in Scott's tent, was actually the last to die?

guys do we think that’s cherry or wilson in the middle. it’s birdie on the right btw

[birdiebowers]

Okay, so it's definitely not Wilson. He had a much shorter torso and longer legs, particularly in the thigh area, which was further emphasised by his waist. I also think Cherry was heavier than Wilson and had narrower, lower-set shoulders, which matches the photo. There's a scan of the crew's medical records somewhere on Tumblr, but I can't find it. This clothing is also different to what Wilson usually wears in photos.

beautiful birdie btw
