This is the voyage, I believe, in which we have some preserved bodies - one a handsome young officer, I believe, with long blond curls. At least he looks handsome in his dessicated state. I was fascinated by the photos as a young person.

If there was a female one, Slick Willy’d be all over that!

Some bodies were left on an island and exhumed in the 1980s, well preserved. The book, which also details the crew’s gradual poisoning by lead-soldered tins, is called Frozen in Time, by Owen Beattie and John Geiger. A good read.

I was also fascinated with the explorations to both the north as well as to Antarctica by both Amundsen & Scott.
