Sir John Barrow told me the earth's poles keep eating men on his polar expeditions so I asked how many polar expeditions he has and he said he just funds a new one afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding men to the earth's poles and then the british admiralty started crying

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
