Norway being amazing at winter sports just reminds me how the British Antarctic explorers just flat out refused to learn from the Norwegians how to ski and use sled dogs and, as a result, had a really bad time in Antarctica.

Sorry, HA way too modern for me, my cut-off point being 1845. Someone in #PolarExploration may well know some good sources though!

Francis Crozier’s real date of birth — the thousandth part After 178 years of confusion over Captain Crozier's date of birth, conclusive evidence is found in his father's correspondence
