I have a really good book in my library, “Frozen in Time”, by Owen Beattie and John Grieger, that documents the discovery of the bodies of three seamen from the expedition. There are several really good color pictures of the condition of the body of one of the men. Made me shiver with cold just looking at his poor face. Gonna have to read through it again. Fascinating, and tragic.

Saw those same pics. They were also published in Smithsonian magazine.

Terrible to die so far away from home. The body being so well preserved just makes it worse.

Also, checkout the recent book “The Terror”. A fictionalized account but will keep you cold on hot Summer nights.
