Today, in the 11th door, a secret is hiding and perhaps it will be revealed at some point. HMS Erebus in the eternal ice will maybe the key….

Just a tiny bit of her history:

Our Erebus was a warship and research vessel of the Royal Navy in the 19th century. The Erebus belonged to the Hecla class of bomb vessels. These were ships designed to bombard the coast with heavy mortars. It was named after Erebos (Latinised Erebus), the god of darkness in Greek mythology.

The ship became famous for its participation in James Clark Ross's expedition to the Antarctic and John Franklin's last expedition to the Canadian Arctic. It was previously thought that the ship was abandoned by its crew in 1848. The presumed sinking site of the ship and the other ship of the expedition, the Terror, off King William Island was declared a National Historic Site of Canada in 1992. The wreck of the ship was found in September 2014 more than 100 kilometres south in Wilmot and Crampton Bay off the Adelaide Peninsula

Luke 2:8-12 NKJV 8 Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. 10 Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. 11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.”

Black-capped Tinamou (Crypturellus atrocapillus), family Tinamidae, order Tinamiformes, Manu National Park, Peru

The tinamous are an ancient group of birds, related to ratites (ostriches, rheas, emus, and cassowaries).

Though they are not strong flyers, they are capable of flight.

They are shy and secretive birds.
