If Scott, Shackleton and Wilson are the toxic Antarctic polycyle, does this make Ellsworth, Amundsen and Nobile the toxic Arctic polycyle?

[osfinexe]

[Image Description: Text: well you see it is far more complicated than that as amundsen was never too fond of nobile's ass

and as a whole they went through a much shorter time than the antarctic group

the norge flight was only like. a couple days. like 3 days. and the fallout was much shorter given amundsen disappeared 2 years later

unlike the antarctic group which had years for all those complicated feelings which makes them the stronger polycule

while the arctic group is more like. a shitty summer fling. it's not as complex. End description]

So what I'm hearing is that it was more like the toxic Arctic threesome/foursome.

Exciting news for shipwreck fans.

'Once-in-a-generation' expedition to revisit shipwrecks of Shackleton, Scott polar missions | CBC News

An ambitious expedition will use Canadian technology to revisit two legendary polar exploration shipwrecks. The goal: create detailed digita

The Terra Nova is off the coast of Greenland and the Quest is off Canada's coast.

So what they're planning on doing is creating digital copies of the wrecks/ships.

Just found out there is a community of people who legitimately identify as "transdeaf." Had I not stumbled across this myself, I would have assumed that it was made up by transphobic ableist trolls.

Anyway, I think all actually deaf people should be able to welcome them to the community by shoving sewing needles into their ear drums.

If you want to know what it's like to be deaf btw, I have been living with a chronic ear infection for almost 10 months now. 24/7 puss leaking out of my ear, getting it all over my pillow during the night. After no treatment has worked I have just found out that I will need surgery to fix it, I have had so many surgeries on my ears I literally cannot remember how many it's been now. If I wasn't lucky and privileged enough to live in a country with socialised healthcare and parents who are willing to pay for what that doesn't cover, I would be be tens of thousands out of pocket. This is what is means to be deaf, if you truly want this because you "identity" with deaf struggles then as I have said before, go ahead, do it. A good poke around with a sewing needle or a few drops of drain cleaner should do the job.

[Image Description: Text: Well, transdeaf is not related ro the transgender community, its a transID. The prefix trans is for the desire to be [insert your identity]. Transdeaf is someone who identifies as a deaf person, and they can indeed transition to it, making themselves deaf on purpose. I think it is valid and it's not really ableist since people really identity with the struggles deaf people pass and really want to (and can be) that. End description]

although i largely love terror/polar exploration fandom and think it's significantly more sensitive and thoughtful than most historically fixated spaces, there is also an undercurrent of subconscious racism and uncritical buy-in to the great man theory + belief that white men's stories no matter how relatively mundane/unremarkable are the center of everything. but then everyone thinks you're crazy for noticing it

[goddisposez]

and if reading this post makes you angry or upset or defensive i strongly recommend doing some self-reflection on why. what are the ways you yourself may be contributing to this undercurrent? are you someone who (even subconsciously) believes in great man theory and lets that bleed through how you write about history, franklin expedition or otherwise? if you are a contributor or possess these mindsets, you aren’t a bad person but it is your responsibility to reflect and unlearn. anti-racism and anti-colonialism is a constant ongoing process for all of us. these aren’t intrinsic virtues or labels you can slap on and call done. now stop making me read microaggressions on the app i downloaded to look at pictures of solomon tozer

[Image Description: Text: if you like polar horror research inuk accounts of explorers on the brink of death refusing help because they were so racist they couldn't conceive of an indigenous person being able to help them, even when the Inuit peoples up north were willing to feed and house them. fucking demonic I HATE THE NORTHWESTERN PASSAGE. End description]

Let me preface by saying that the op is 100% correct in everything they said here and that you can and should acknowledge and critisise the imperialism and racism inherent to most stories of polar exploration.

However, can we stop with the narrative that the Franklin Expedition members were "too racist to ask for help" because it just reeks of not having actually read Inuit testimony.

Not only did the men of the Franklin Expedition ask for help but they traded items in exchange for it. It should also be noted that because of the lack of thaw Inuit people were also struggling and only had so much to give.

When we ignore Inuit testimony in favor of deciding that our therories and assumptions are correct (even if we think we are being progressive in doing so) we only further imperialist re-writing of history, the exact thing op is criticising.

Inuit testimony sources:

btw this site is a great source for inuit testimony on the Franklin Expedition
