    Art and Terror in the Arctic Magdalena Bay, by the 19th century French artist Auguste François Biard Biard painted this fantastic, morbid scene after he participated in a scientific expedition to the Arctic in the 1830s (in which nobody died), and he seems to foreshadow, in an oddly Romantic style, the ill-fated journey of the HMS Erebus and Terror in the 1840s (in which everybody died). It is quite easy to imagine that the men in Biard’s painting are the same men who Simmons has dying by the dozens…from exposure, from botulism, from pneumonia, from tuberculosis, from scurvy, and from murder. Актуальное, лежало с марта в драфтах. С обложки книги Симмонса “Террор”. На имхонете обещают 9.1/10, но объём так пугает.
