Last year I set up four polar bear sampling stations in our study area at Alert (Nunavut, Canada). Goal: collect pictures and hairs to document the understudied Arctic Basin population. This one, from 8 August 2025, is our first good photo ! 🧪🌿🌎🌐🦑🦊 (barbed wire for genetic hair collection visible)

One summer, when I was seven, my parents sent me to live with two aunts in PARKLIFE. I did not want to go. The elderly have that effect on children. PARKLIFE! But they loved me. And I grew to love them. PARKLIFE! ... but I am hungry. I am hungry, and want to PARKLIVE

4th October 1859 was a regular day for Joseph Taylor Goodsir. Wake early, think about God, pinch of snuff, meet brother John, read the day's post.

Which included an letter sent by sister Jane to their brother Harry of #HMSErebus in Jan 1848, and returned 11 years later as "undeliverable".

Just as written records from the lost Franklin Expedition were within reach, Canada is having to pull the plug on archaeological excavation of HMS Erebus & Terror.

A very happy birthday to Alexander McDonald, born in Laurencekirk #OTD in 1817.

Alexander was assistant surgeon on #HMSTerror and was lost with the #FranklinExpedition.

And he was, without doubt, goth AF. @scottpolar.bsky.social holds some of his letters: each one sealed with a blood red skull.

The Stromness Museum has no idea that mentioning John Rae, who went looking for the Franklin Expedition as depicted in AMC’s The Terror (2018), on Bluesky was the smartest thing their marketing team could have done
