John Barrow, Sex Colony
I think the single most fantastical and unrealistic thing that happens in The Terror is John Ross and James Clark Ross sitting next to each other in the scene where Sophia and Lady Jane address the admiralty/Arctic Council. No way. I don’t think you could have put JCR, John Ross, and John Barrow in the same room without an incident let alone have them sit next to each other good lord
Water is actually one of the strangest substances known to science. This may seem a rather odd thing to say about a substance as familiar but it is surely true. Its specific heat, its surface tension, and most of its other physical properties have values anomalously higher or lower than those of any other known material. The fact that its solid phase is less dense than its liquid phase (ice floats) is virtually a unique property.

John Barrow's house
Stopped by John Barrow's house at 17 Hanover Terrace, London to spiritually tell him that his beloved friend Fitzjames has been found. ❤️
Barrow did much to help the Franklin search expeditions, no doubt partially motivated by wanting to find out what happened to Fitzjames. He bought this house in the 1850s, before that he was still living with his parents. Many Arctic explorers visited him here at this house, in which he lived until his death in 1898.

Episode Four: Random Rewatch Observations
1. Shout out to Sophia and Lady Jane, sticking it to Barrow re: Arctic geography, how far the Admiralty’s messages have reached, and his general condescension.
2. Their breath is visible in the air as they’re leaving the Admiralty building and talking specifically about Sir John.
3. Jopson is hilarious even before his little innocent “Me, sir?” line when he first enters the scene saying “Sorry to interrupt!”. Like, yes, sorry to interrupt your busy schedule of sitting in the dark doing literally nothing, sir! Great stuff.
4. Also shout out to Little being very competent off-screen, already making plans to move Terrors over to Erebus before Crozier’s even thought about it.
5. Love Crozier just pissing directly in front of Jopson too – another obvious thing but it just makes me laugh.
6. I think I spy Little doing his patented Awkward Shoulder Pat of Comfort to someone as they all troop back onto the ship. He’s not in his slops a few moments later so it seems likely that it’s him and that he stayed behind to hold down the fort while they were out searching.
7. Another thing that’s been pointed out by others, but I love MacDonald’s annoyed table tapping – he’s so not in the mood.
8. “Look out for yourself.” “Oh, I will…”
Like, oh I bet you will, Hickey, sweetheart…
9. Just a thought but Hickey’s “Who’s that?!” when he finds Strong/Evans on watch strikes me as unique. I don’t know if they had specific phrases or codes to challenge and identify each other when on watch but all I’m saying is that it would make sense if they did and it would make sense for that to be another thing Hickey doesn’t know.
10. Extra-gruesome to note that the legs and the torso appear to be facing opposite directions.
11. How do we all feel about Hickey’s whole spiel in front of the Captains, and the fact that Manson and Hartnell stay completely silent throughout it? Do we think he’s outright lying or what? The idea of them interrupting Silna in her attempt to take control of Tuunbaq isn’t completely outlandish in and of itself, after all – she tries to do just that two episodes later - and surely if he’s just making it up completely then the other two would challenge that to try and save their own skins?
12. Also have to laugh at Goodsir’s helpful “Food…!” when he takes Silna some ‘dinner’. Like, I think she realises it’s food, Harry, she just thinks it’s bloody horrible (which it is!).
13. I am absolutely obsessed with how puffy they both look here. Look at their little sticky-out tum-tums! Silly little Weeble men.

Darkness and Winter have for awhile proclaimed the long night of the Arctic Zone, to us a breathing time from arduous and successful labours.
A detail from 'The Queen's Illuminated Magazine and North Cornwall Gazette', in the handwriting of Lieutenant Sherard Osborn, in command of H.M.S. Pioneer in the Franklin search expedition under Sir Edward Belcher.
This is part of a collection of manuscripts at the British Museum known as the Barrow Bequest, which tell the stories of the early expeditions which embarked for the Arctic in search of Franklin and his missing expedition.
