We slept not only soundly the greater part of these days and nights, but with a certain numbed pleasure. We wanted something sweet to eat: for preference tinned peaches in syrup! Well! That is the kind of sleep the Antarctic offers you at her worst, or nearly at her worst. (c)

I recently learned an old French euphemism for bisexuality. It means to be powered "by sail and steam," and it absolutely comes from a specific flavor of 19th-century ship.

HMS Terror and Erebus were bisexual, you heard it here first.

Happy Pride!

"Though Cook is remembered today—if he is remembered at all—as the charlatan who lied about reaching the North Pole, he may yet find redemption in the next phase of human exploration: manned missions to Mars....When we do reach Mars, we will, in some small part, have Cook to thank."

-Madhouse at the End of the Earth, Julian Sancton

Frederick Cook's observations from the Belgica expedition, of the psychological impact of wintering over trapped in the Antarctic ice pack and his attempts to keep the crew alive and mentally sound, are still used as a behavioral case study for extended space travel conditions.
