'The Sorceror of the North Pole, or Captain Ross's Vision', referring to Ross turning back on the 1818 expedition to find a Northwest Passage in the #Arctic

Ross's Victory was another expedition caught in the ice. The men were finally rescued by a whaler, the Isabella - which Ross had previously sailed on... (image @RMGreenwich)

If there's one woman who is *very* visible in the histories of the 1845 expedition, it's Jane Franklin, John's second wife (played by Greta Scacchi in #TheTerror). Here's a portrait of her from @RMGreenwich's collections #Arctic #exploration #InternationalWomensDay 🧵
